HR 5376 United States House · 118th Congress

Share the Savings with Seniors Act

HR 5376, the Share the Savings with Seniors Act, changes Medicare Part D drug cost-sharing rules for specific chronic medications starting in 2025. It limits what seniors pay for certain chronic care drugs (like anticoagulants, blood glucose regulators, and respiratory medications) by capping pre-deductible costs at the drug's net price and requiring coinsurance after the deductible to be based on that net price. This directly affects Medicare Part D beneficiaries taking these defined chronic medications. The bill aims to reduce out-of-pocket costs by tying payment limits to the negotiated drug price rather than list price or other benchmarks.
