The negotiated prices for those 10 Medicare Part D drugs will go into effect in January 2026.
This includes drugs for rare diseases, plasma or blood-derived products, drugs developed by small biotech companies and drugs that Medicare spends less than $200 million on.
The products may not be part of the eventual price negotiations due to generic competition or a change in Medicare expenditures.
In the program's second phase, HHS will select another 15 Medicare Part D drugs to negotiate, with prices taking effect in 2027.
In phase four, HHS will negotiate prices for 20 Part B or D drugs, taking effect in 2029.
