AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill sets limits on what military health plan members and veterans pay for certain prescription drugs whose prices are negotiated under Medicare's Drug Price Negotiation Program. For TRICARE beneficiaries, cost-sharing for these selected drugs could not exceed what a Medicare Part D beneficiary pays for the same drug that year. For veterans getting medications through the VA, copayments for these drugs could not exceed the Medicare Part D amount. The bill also bars drug manufacturers from charging the VA and certain other federal agencies more than the Medicare negotiated 'maximum fair price' for these drugs under their master agreements.
