Hello🌟


We are on the brink of witnessing a monumental shift in the Medicare landscape, and as your personal guide through every step of Medicare, we are here to walk you through these pivotal changes.


Understanding the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation


In a groundbreaking move, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced that, for the first time ever, Medicare will negotiate drug prices directly with pharmaceutical companies. This shift, a cornerstone of the Biden Inflation Reduction Act, aims to ease the financial burden on millions of Americans.


This change stems from a determined effort to bring down the escalating costs of prescription drugs. A closer look at the initial list of drugs set for negotiation reveals names like:

  • Eliquis

  • Jardiance

  • Xarelto

  • Januvia

  • Farxiga

  • Entresto

  • Enbrel

  • Imbruvica

  • Stelara

  • Fiasp; Fiasp FlexTouch; Fiasp PenFill; NovoLog; NovoLog FlexPen; NovoLog PenFillamong others.

These drugs have been significant contributors to the out-of-pocket expenses for Medicare enrollees.

This promising development is set to unfold over the coming years, with negotiations taking place in 2023 and 2024. The eagerly awaited price reductions are slated to come into effect starting January 1, 2026. And guess what? This is just the beginning. In the following years, we can anticipate negotiations encompassing even more drugs, expanding the scope of affordability and access.
