Survey: AARP members support sharing medicine discounts with seniors

Earlier this year, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) released a proposed rule to reform the rebate system in Medicare Part D. In our current system, insurers and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) negotiate significant rebates on medicines, but often don ’t share those savings with seniors directly. The proposed rule would change this by ensuring the rebates negotiated with biopharmaceutical companies are entirely passed through to seniors at the pharmacy counter.
