flag Medicare lowers prices for 15 high-cost drugs, including Ozempic, starting in 2027.

flag 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. flag Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus will cost $274 for a 30-day supply, down from $959. flag 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. flag The program, which has faced legal challenges but remains in effect, applies to drugs treating diabetes, cancer, asthma, and other conditions. flag While some prices are higher than a separate Trump-era deal, experts view the reductions as meaningful progress in addressing drug affordability.
