Medicare Drug Price Negotiation | Advocate Training

How to Prepare for Written Comments + Listening Sessions

Date: Thursday, February 19
Time: 3:00 PM ET 

This training-focused webinar will walk patients, caregivers, and advocates through how to effectively engage in the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation process by submitting written comments and participating in CMS listening sessions.

Participants will learn what CMS is looking for in written submissions, how to translate lived experience into clear and relevant policy input, and how to prepare for listening sessions so their voices are informed, focused, and impactful.

This session is designed for those who want to participate constructively in the process—grounded in facts, respectful engagement, and a clear understanding of how patient input fits into federal decision-making.

I kept hearing about Medicare drug price negotiation in the news, but no one was explaining what it actually meant for patients like me. This helped me understand what’s really happening—and why our voices matter.” - Louise
