Share the Savings with Seniors Act

United States · United States Congress · 11 September 2025

Share the Savings with Seniors Act This bill limits cost-sharing for chronic care drugs under the Medicare prescription drug benefit. Chronic care drugs include blood glucose regulators other than insulin, anticoagulants, and other categories of drugs as specified in the bill. Specifically, for costs below the annual deductible, the bill caps cost-sharing for chronic care drugs at the net price of the drug (i.e., the negotiated price net of all manufacturer price concessions); for costs above the annual deductible and below the annual out-of-pocket threshold, cost-sharing must be based on a percentage of the drug's net price (if cost-sharing for that drug is tied to the price or cost of the drug).

Drug Shortage Compounding Patient Access Act of 2025

United States · United States Congress · 11 September 2025

Drug Shortage Compounding Patient Access Act of 2025 This bill relaxes certain requirements for the compounding of drugs facing shortages. Currently, subject to certain requirements, compounded drugs (i.e., drugs altered to meet patient needs) do not require Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. There are two general categories of compounding: (1) pharmacy compounding, wherein a licensed pharmacist or physician not registered with the FDA compounds in limited quantities for identified patients; and (2) bulk compounding, wherein an FDA-registered outsourcing facility compounds in bulk for use in medical facilities. The bill permits pharmacy compounding in limited quantities for an urgent medical need not involving a specific patient if, among other requirements, the drug appeared on the FDA’s drug shortage list within a specified period. The bill also formally waives limits on pharmacy compounding of drugs that are essentially copies of commercially available drugs if the drug appeared on the shortage list within a specified period. Separately, the bill extends the period during which an outsourcing facility may compound a drug that appeared on the shortage list to 180 days after the drug’s removal from the list. The bill also requires the FDA to publish annual updates on its evaluation of substances for inclusion on the list of bulk drug substances (i.e., active pharmaceutical ingredients) that may be used in bulk compounding of drugs not on the shortage list. Finally, manufacturers of certain drugs, including life-supporting and life-sustaining drugs, must report to the FDA certain surges in demand for such drugs.

RESULTS Act

United States · United States Congress · 10 September 2025

Reforming and Enhancing Sustainable Updates to Laboratory Testing Services Act of 2025 or the RESULTS Act This bill requires the use of particular data from the private sector to inform Medicare payment rates for certain widely available laboratory tests.  Specifically, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) must contract with an entity that maintains a database of claims data for clinical diagnostic laboratory tests that (1) are not advanced diagnostic tests, and (2) were furnished by more than 100 providers and suppliers of such services over a specified six-month period (i.e., widely available tests). The database must meet specified requirements, such as having data that is representative of the entire country and from more than 50 private payors and claims administrators. The contracted entity must be a nonprofit entity that is not affiliated with any government agency, any insurance issuer or provider, or any other organization in the health care sector.  Beginning January 1, 2028, the CMS must use the information obtained from the database to inform Medicare payment rates for these widely available laboratory tests.  The bill additionally specifies processes for determining payment rates for laboratory tests that are not advanced diagnostic tests, are not widely available, and lack adequate claims data. The CMS must use certain existing processes to set appropriate rates. The bill also delays scheduled payment reductions for laboratory tests until 2028 and allows for judicial and administrative review of payment rates.
