What Does This Mean for Your Financial Forecasts?

On August 15, 2024, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced results from the first cycle of negotiations associated with the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. The published maximum fair prices (MFP) for the ten drugs selected will first become applicable January 1, 2026, and represent a discount of 38 to 79 percent off list price.
