In this podcast, explore how health insurance companies are adapting to the Inflation Reduction Act's new requirements, including the Part D redesign.

The US healthcare landscape is undergoing significant changes as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) continues to implement the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). One key stakeholder group affected by the IRA drug price negotiations and Medicare Part D redesign are health insurance companies. In this episode of Connected with Latham, we delve into how these payers are responding to the IRA, including the new ability for Part D beneficiaries to spread their cost-sharing equally across the plan year. Amanda Forys from Magnolia Market Access joins Washington, D.C. partner Chris Schott and associate Danny Machado to discuss the findings of a recent survey on payer trends. Beyond discussing the broader effects of the IRA on the healthcare industry, the conversation also touches on possible Part D premium increases and how payers might be shifting new IRA obligations onto manufacturers.
