MAPRx applauds this bipartisan legislation that will allow coverage of anti-obesity medications in Medicare Part D, currently one of the few insurance programs that doesn't provide coverage. Learn more in our report on improving obesity care in Part D: maprx.info/wp-content/upload…
Senator Tom Carper@SenatorCarper20 Jul 2023
With obesity rates on the rise in our country, we must do more to combat this epidemic head on. That’s why I introduced the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act alongside @SenBillCassidy in order to reduce the physical, social and financial costs of obesity. carper.senate.gov/newsroom/p…

Blood Cancer United Advocacy@bcutd_advocacy19 Jun 2019
About 40% of new cancer therapies are self-administered as a result of innovation in research—and they come with a high out-of-pocket price tag for seniors with Medicare Part D. We’re partnering with @maprx to support an out-of-pocket cap for Part D.

Today we released a new report that finds while Medicare Part D is as popular and robust as ever, significant challenges to beneficiaries still exist. As always, we are committed to strengthening and improving Part D and believe this report provides a blueprint for doing so.

Among the challenges detailed in the report are rising out-of-pocket (OOP) costs with no true OOP maximum, a looming OOP cliff that will increase costs for beneficiaries even further in 2020, and a lack of resources to connect them with the plan that best meets their needs.

MAPRx is calling on Congress and the Administration to address the challenges facing Part D by enacting the solutions proposed in this new report. #StrengthenPartD Read the full report: maprx.info/wp-content/upload…
