  1. 01

    How would displaying list prices in drug advertisements affect patients' decisions if their actual out-of-pocket costs differ significantly from the advertised price?

  2. 02

    What enforcement mechanisms or penalties would ensure drug manufacturers comply with displaying list prices, and who would bear those compliance costs?

  3. 03

    Would this transparency requirement help Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries comparison-shop for drugs, or could it create confusion without information about copays and insurance coverage?
