Under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), government-negotiated drug prices for high Medicare spend drugs will take effect on January 1, 2026. Pharmacies must enroll with the CMS Medicare Transaction Facilitator (MTF) to receive manufacturer refunds when the acquisition cost exceeds the Maximum Fair Price (MFP). Without enrollment, they may be excluded from the program.

In this episode, we break down the critical steps pharmacies must take to enroll in the CMS MTF ahead of January 1, 2026. With manufacturer refunds hinging on proper enrollment, we explore the six-part form, key financial selections, and the role of third-party entities. We also spotlight the urgency of completing the enrollment by November 15, 2025, to avoid delays in reimbursement, for those wishing to participate in MTF.
