The Alzheimer's drug LEQEMBI is seen in this undated handout image obtained by Reuters on January 20, 2023. Due to the drug's high price and Medicare's coverage restrictions, seniors are unable to access the treatment. The letter the Alzheimer's Association sent to CMS in December calling for unrestricted coverage was signed by more than 200 researchers and experts.

Medicare adopted the coverage restrictions after controversy over the Alzheimer's antibody treatment Aduhelm, which was also developed by Eisai and Biogen.
