Highlights & Notes

The first 10 drugs to face price negotiations by Medicare were released yesterday.

Here they are:

  • Eliquis - for preventing strokes and blood clots
  • Jardiance - for diabetes and heart failure
  • Xarelto - for preventing strokes and blood clots
  • Januvia - for diabetes
  • Farxiga - for diabetes, heart failure and chronic kidney disease
  • Entresto - for heart failure
  • Enbrel - for arthritis and other autoimmune conditions
  • Imbruvica - for blood cancers
  • Stelara - for Crohn’s disease
  • Fiasp or NovoLog - insulin products, for diabetes

The drugs span numerous companies including Pfizer, Bristol Myers, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, AstraZeneca, Novartis, Amgen, among others.

These drugs accounted for 20% of Part D costs from June 1 '22 - May 31 '23.

CMS will publish any agreed-upon negotiated prices by September 1, 2024.

Prices will go into effect Jan. 1 '26.

Possible Upsides:

  • save money for Medicare
  • lower out of pocket costs for those taking the drugs
  • potentially lower premiums for everyone
  • room for other benefits or drugs to be covered by Medicare

Possible Downsides:

  • stifle innovation by drug companies
  • companies could remove drugs from Medicare
  • opens the door for more government control
