NCPA August 26, 2025

On Friday, Reps. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas) and Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) introduced H.R. 5031, the Preserving Patient Access to Long-Term Care Pharmacies Act, which would address upcoming Medicare Part D drug pricing changes that will impact the quality of care for seniors in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other long-term care settings.

This legislation would establish a targeted $30 supplemental supply fee on prescription drugs subject to Medicare-negotiated prices. NCPA is proud to have endorsed this legislation. If you would like to help build support for this legislation you can click here to contact your member of Congress.
