Bill overview
This bill creates a commission to investigate how much health plans and pharmaceutical companies determine they should pay for prescription drugs. The commission will include members of the General Court and will examine ‘maximum allowable costs lists,’ which are used to set prices for medications. The goal is to understand how these lists are created and whether they lead to fair drug pricing for patients and health plans. This study will inform potential policy changes related to drug costs.
