The prices for 25 prescription drugs that Medicare’s Part D spends the most on have nearly doubled since they first became available an average of 11 years ago, a new report from AARP finds.
The price tags of these brand-name prescriptions have increased by an average of 98 percent since entering the market, and the vast majority of the price increases have exceeded the annual
rate of inflation, according to an analysis of Medicare data conducted by AARP’s Public Policy Institute. The 25 medications, which do not include the 10 popular drugs already selected for
the first round of Medicare price negotiation, are used by more than 7 million enrollees to treat conditions such as diabetes, cancer and chronic lung disease, and were responsible for
nearly $50 billion in total Part D spending in 2022. “Brand-name drug prices have been increasing faster than the rate of general inflation for decades, putting life-saving medications out
of reach for millions of patients who need them,” Leigh Purvis, author of the report and AARP’s prescription drug policy principal, said in a statement. It’s important to note that these
hikes typically build on already high launch prices. According to AARP’s report, released Jan. 9, the median price of a new brand-name prescription drug is reportedly an estimated $300,000
per year. TOP 25 MEDICARE PART D DRUGS NOT CURRENTLY SELECTED FOR MEDICARE DRUG PRICE NEGOTIATION _Brand-name drugs with the highest total Medicare Part D spending in 2022_ * Trulicity

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), but mounting research shows that many Americans struggle to afford them. A 2023 report published in _JAMA Network Open_ found that a significant share
of older adults adopt cost-coping strategies — such as skipping medication doses or delaying prescription refills — to save money on their drugs. And a 2024 survey from AARP found that
nearly half of adults ages 50-plus have skipped filling their prescriptions — or know someone who has — due to cost.
