Here are three future deadlines, according to CMS’ timeline:
1. By Sept. 1, CMS will publish the first 10 Medicare Part D drugs selected for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program.
2. The negotiated maximum fair prices for these drugs will be announced by Sept. 1, 2024, and prices will be in effect starting Jan. 1, 2026.
3. In future years, CMS will select for negotiation 15 more Part D drugs for 2027, 15 more Part B or Part D drugs for 2028, and 20 more Part B or Part D drugs for each year after that.
