Medicare lowers prices for 15 high-cost drugs, including Ozempic, starting in 2027.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced lower prices for 15 high-cost prescription drugs under the Inflation Reduction Act’s Medicare drug price negotiation program, effective in 2027.
Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus will cost $274 for a 30-day supply, down from $959.
The cuts, covering 15% of Medicare Part D spending in 2024, are expected to save $12 billion in taxpayer costs and $685 million in out-of-pocket expenses.
The program, which has faced legal challenges but remains in effect, applies to drugs treating diabetes, cancer, asthma, and other conditions.
While some prices are higher than a separate Trump-era deal, experts view the reductions as meaningful progress in addressing drug affordability.
