The Inflation Reduction Act, What’s Next? At the World Medical Innovation Forum

Biopharmaceuticals and The Inflation Reduction Act: A Status Report on IRA Implementation

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 will impose some of the most far-reaching changes in federal policy on biopharmaceuticals in recent years, including direct negotiation of drug prices by Medicare, and a significant redesign of Medicare prescription drug benefits to lower costs borne by Medicare beneficiaries. This panel, among the most popular at the Forum, examines the ongoing implementation of key IRA provisions that may influence biopharmaceutical innovation in the years ahead. At the World Medical Innovation Forum this past June, our panels of experts in the field met to discuss the possible outcomes of this new policy.

Watch the session, Biopharmaceuticals and The Inflation Reduction Act: A Status Report on IRA Implementation presented at the World Medical Innovation Forum 2023.
