HR 4623 United States House · 119th Congress

Plain Prescription Prices Act

HR 4623, the Plain Prescription Prices Act, requires drug companies to include the current list price for a typical 30-day supply or treatment course in all direct-to-consumer television ads for prescription drugs covered by Medicare (Part D) or Medicaid. This applies to ads aired on broadcast, cable, streaming, or satellite TV. The bill mandates that the displayed price must be truthful and reflect the list price as of the first day of the quarter the ad runs. The goal is to provide consumers with clear, upfront pricing information when viewing drug advertisements.
