☆ Medicare Patients on Pricey Drugs Are Saving Big This Year
  + stars: | 2024-01-15 | by ( Liz Essley Whyte | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Medicare patients lining up to fill pricey prescriptions at the pharmacy counter this year will realize some good news: For the first time, there is a ceiling on how much they will pay in 2024 for their Part D drugs. Changes brought about by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act mean that people on Part D plans now pay no more than roughly $3,300 on drugs annually—a number that could shift a bit based on whether they take brand or generic medications. In 2025, that cap will change again to a flat $2,000.

The nation’s infant-mortality rate is double that of many developed countries. Photo: iStockThe rate of babies dying in the U.S. increased significantly for the first time in two decades, raising new alarms about maternal-infant health in America. The nation’s infant-mortality rate rose 3% from 2021 to 2022, reversing a decadeslong overall decline, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday. The rate increased from 5.44 infant deaths for every 1,000 births to 5.6 in 2022, a statistically significant uptick.

☆ Something Congress Might Agree On: Tackling Drug Costs

Drug pricing is complicated and secretive. WSJ explains how the flow of money, drugs and rebates behind the scenes may drive up the price of prescription medicine for consumers. Illustration: Mallory BranganRepublicans and Democrats in Congress may find rare agreement in the coming months on legislation taking aim at high drug costs. The lawmakers are rolling out proposals that aim to reduce drug spending by insurers and government agencies, as well as by patients at the pharmacy trying to fill prescriptions for diabetes and other medicines.

Calls to poison-control centers from caregivers worried about melatonin their children ingested have grown sharply. Photo: Jeff Greenberg/Universal Images Greoup via Getty ImagesPeople who consume melatonin gummies to get a good night’s rest might be ingesting more natural sleep aid than they bargained for, scientists say. In an analysis of 25 melatonin gummy brands, researchers found that most had more melatonin than their label disclosed—with one brand’s product containing nearly 350% more, according to the analysis published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Another brand said its gummies contained melatonin and cannabinoid oil, though researchers found that they really contained only cannabidiol, an ingredient derived from cannabis.
☆ Weight-Loss Drugmakers Lobby for Medicare Coverage
  + stars: | 2023-04-24 | by ( Liz Essley Whyte | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Illustration: Elizabeth SmelovWeight-loss drugmakers are lobbying Congress to grant them access to a monster payday for their blockbuster treatments: Medicare coverage. New drugs to treat diabetes and obesity are helping people shed pounds and generating huge sales for Novo Nordisk AS and Eli Lilly & Co. But they cost hundreds of dollars a month or more and Medicare doesn’t cover them to treat obesity. The law governing Medicare’s prescription-drug benefit excludes weight drugs. If that changed, demand from the 65 million older and disabled people insured through Medicare could push sales even higher.

☆ Planned Curbs on Telehealth Prescriptions Spark Backlash

Proposed telehealth rules call for in-person visit for online prescriptions of controlled-substance drugs such as buprenorphine, a medication for opioid-use disorder. WASHINGTON—A federal plan to resume tighter limits on the prescribing of controlled substances through telehealth has spurred a backlash from some medical and patient advocacy groups who say the requirements would create barriers to care. The organizations are urging the Drug Enforcement Administration to reconsider proposed rules that would let doctors remotely prescribe a 30-day supply of some drugs, including buprenorphine for opioid-use disorder, as well as ketamine and testosterone, but require at least one in-person visit for further prescriptions.
☆ Justice Department to Appeal to Supreme Court on Abortion Pill
  + stars: | 2023-04-13 | by ( Laura Kusisto | Liz Essley Whyte | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
A fast-moving legal battle over the abortion pill is heading to the Supreme Court after a federal appeals court allowed the drug to remain on the market but imposed significant restrictions on its use. The order issued by the New Orleans-based Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late Wednesday in effect returns restrictions on the drug, known as mifepristone, to what they were before 2016, when the pill could only be used through about seven weeks of pregnancy, required three in-person doctor’s visits and couldn’t be sent to patients through the mail.
