Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

Greetings,

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is extending the registration deadline for the public engagement events for the current cycle of negotiation and renegotiation. The new deadline to register is Wednesday, March 18, 2026.

The Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program provides Medicare the ability to directly negotiate the prices of certain high-cost drugs. The current cycle of negotiation and renegotiation is underway, and CMS wants to hear directly from patients, caregivers, representatives of patient advocacy organizations, clinicians, researchers, and others about the selected drugs, the conditions they treat, and/or other drugs that treat the same conditions.

Note: Individuals who have experience with the selected drug, as well as individuals who have experience with a health condition treated by the selected drug or experience with other drugs for the health condition, are encouraged to register.

How to Get Involved

  • Register to participate in a virtual, patient-focused roundtable event or speak at the virtual, livestreamed town hall meeting focused on clinical considerations regarding the selected drugs.
  • Learn more about the drugs selected for the current cycle of negotiation and renegotiation.

Key Dates

  • Registration has been extended and is now open through Wednesday, March 18, 2026.
  • Public engagement events will be held in April 2026.

Reach out to IRARebateandNegotiation@cms.hhs.gov using the subject line “Public Engagement” with any questions.  

Sincerely,

CMS
