The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (#CMS) recently released the maximum fair prices (#MFP) for the 15 #IPAY 2027 drugs. How closely do they align with value-based prices?
New CEVR research found wide variation, which sends muddled signals to drugmakers about value.

Examining whether negotiated prices align with value is one way of asking if CMS “got pricing right” and if the Medicare program is getting its money’s worth.
