text: <p><b>Medicare Negotiation and Competitive Licensing Act of 2021</b></p> <p>This bill establishes several requirements relating to the prices of prescription drugs.</p> <p>Specifically, the bill requires the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies regarding prices for drugs covered under Medicare. (Current law prohibits the CMS from doing so.) If the CMS is unable to negotiate the price of a drug, such drug is subject to competitive licensing in order to further its sale under health insurance programs, notwithstanding existing government-granted exclusivities. </p> <p>The negotiated prices also apply to other federal health care programs, private health insurance, and the uninsured; pharmacies that charge more than the negotiated price for uninsured individuals are subject to civil penalties. Manufacturers must also comply with specified reporting requirements relating to prices and licensing, subject to civil penalties. </p> <p>The bill also institutes an excise tax on drugs for which the price spikes beyond a certain limit, subject to specified exemptions, as well as on drugs for which the price exceeds the negotiated price.</p>

(2) Negotiation considerations (A) Factors In negotiating such prices under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall take into account the following factors: (i) The comparative clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness, when available from an impartial source, of such drug. (ii) The budgetary impact of providing coverage of such drug. (iii) The number of similarly effective drugs or alternative treatment regimens for each approved use of such drug. (iv) The associated financial burden on patients that utilize such drug. (v) The associated unmet patient need for such drug. (vi) The total revenues from global sales obtained by the manufacturer for such drug and the associated investment in research and development of such drug by the manufacturer. (B) Assessment of factors For purposes of assessing the factors described in subparagraph (A) with respect to a covered part D drug, the Secretary shall, as soon as practicable, establish a value assessment process consisting of standardized measures for such factors. With respect to a negotiation that occurs before the Secretary establishes such a process, the Secretary may use such other assessments as the Secretary determines appropriate (such as assessments used with respect to ascertaining the value of drugs by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, and other countries). (3) Specified covered part D drugs In this subsection, the term specified covered part D drug means, with respect to a negotiated price period beginning during— (A) the first plan year beginning on or after the date of the enactment of this subsection, a covered part D drug that is a sole source drug (as defined in section 1833(t)(14)(F)(i))— (i) with respect to which gross revenues for the preceding plan year were $100,000,000 or greater; or (ii) that contains an active ingredient that was first approved by the Administrator for Food and Drugs not later than 10 years prior to the beginning of such first plan year; (B) the second plan year beginning on or after the date of the enactment of this subsection, a covered part D drug that is a sole source drug (as so defined) or a biosimilar biological product; (C) the third plan year beginning on or after the date of the enactment of this subsection, a covered part D drug— (i) that is described in subparagraph (B); or (ii) with respect to which, during the preceding plan year, fewer than 3 manufacturers (other than the manufacturer of such drug) marketed a generic version of such drug; and (D) the fourth plan year beginning on or after the date of the enactment of this subsection or a subsequent plan year, a covered part D drug.

(ii) The risk-adjusted value of any investment made by such manufacturer in the research and development of such drug. (iii) The impact of the price, including license compensation payments, on meeting the medical need of all patients. (iv) The relationship between the price of such drug, including compensation payments, and the health benefits of such drug. (v) Other relevant factors determined appropriate by the Secretary to provide reasonable compensation. (B) Reasonable compensation (i) Limitations Reasonable compensation described in subparagraph (A) with respect to a specified covered outpatient drug and a plan year may not be made in an amount— (I) less than an amount necessary to allow such manufacturer to recoup such manufacturer’s research and development costs associated with such drug; and (II) subject to subclause (I), greater than 12 percent of the negotiated price set by the Secretary for such drug and such plan year.
