Abstract: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is requesting review and approval of a revision to an existing data collection related to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-169) (the Act). Sections 1193 and 1194 of the Act requires drug manufacturers to submit data to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, in a form and manner specified by the Secretary; information on the non-Federal average manufacturer price; and information that the Secretary requires to carry out the negotiation or renegotiation process. The Act establishes a Drug Price Negotiation Program for certain selected drugs covered under Medicare Part B and Part D. The Secretary is required to negotiate maximum fair prices (MFPs) with drug manufacturers for 15 Part B and Part D drugs in 2028, 20 Part B and Part D drugs for 2029 and each following year. The Secretary is required to renegotiate MFPs with drug manufacturers of selected drugs that are eligible and selected for renegotiation for 2028 and each following year. Additionally, this information collection request describes the information collection that may occur if the Primary Manufacturer chooses to develop and submit a written counteroffer to CMS’ written initial offer for initial negotiation or renegotiation of the MFP, as applicable to a selected drug, during initial price applicability year 2028 under the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program (under the authority in sections 11001 and 11002 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-169), codified in sections 1191 through 1198 of the Social Security Act
