Pricing announcements made in March by some manufacturers of inhalers will mean lower costs and improved access to asthma medicine for many people with asthma starting this June,\u201d stated Mendez. \u201cAs President Biden indicated, more can and should be done. It\u2019s not just drug companies, others need to step forward. We welcome continued efforts to improve affordability and accessibility of these essential medicines so all patients can get the treatment they need.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19270\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19270\" class=\"wp-image-19270\" src=\"https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/inhaler-costs-jenna-kenny-1024x739.webp\" alt=\"Jenna Riemenschneider, AAFA Senior Director of Policy and Advocacy, and Kenneth Mendez, AAFA President and CEO, attended the White House briefing on health care costs and asthma inhaler pricing.\" width=\"600\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/inhaler-costs-jenna-kenny-1024x739.webp 1024w, https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/inhaler-costs-jenna-kenny-300x217.webp 300w, https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/inhaler-costs-jenna-kenny-768x554.webp 768w, https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/inhaler-costs-jenna-kenny-1536x1109.webp 1536w, https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/inhaler-costs-jenna-kenny-2048x1479.webp 2048w, https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/inhaler-costs-jenna-kenny-1080x780.webp 1080w, https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/inhaler-costs-jenna-kenny-1280x924.webp 1280w, https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/inhaler-costs-jenna-kenny-980x707.webp 980w, https:\/\/aafa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/inhaler-costs-jenna-kenny-480x347.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19270\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jenna Riemenschneider, AAFA Senior Director of Policy and Advocacy, and Kenneth Mendez, AAFA President and CEO, attended the White House briefing on health care costs and asthma inhaler pricing.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Three major inhaler manufacturers announced a $35 a month cap for asthma inhalers in March.

There is more work to be done to reduce costs. The new price caps from manufacturers do not apply to seniors on Medicare and families on Medicaid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 allows Medicare to negotiate directly with drug companies. This can help reduce costs for brand name Medicare Part B and Part D drugs. In August 2023, the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services announced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/inflation-reduction-act-and-medicare\/medicare-drug-price-negotiation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first 10 drugs that will undergo the first cycle of negotiations<\/a>. No asthma drugs were included on that initial list.<\/p>\n<p>Affordable access to asthma medications can save lives, reduce hospitalizations, and lower the more than $82 billion in annual costs to the U.S. economy from this chronic disease.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Content Row&#8221; module_class=&#8221;blog-single&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Press Contact&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#505050&#8243; link_font=&#8221;||||on|||#008c99|&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#008c99&#8243; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#008c99&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;39px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#008c99&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;28px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Press Contact:<\/strong><br \/>Andy Spears<br \/>Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)<br \/>media@aafa.org<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;About &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#505050&#8243; link_font=&#8221;||||on|||#008c99|&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#008c99&#8243; link_line_height=&#8221;1.7em&#8221; ul_line_height=&#8221;1.7em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#008c99&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;39px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#008c99&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;28px&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#F5EDDF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;4%|4%|4%|4%|true|true&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>About AAFA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1953, AAFA is the oldest and largest non-profit patient organization dedicated to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease for people with asthma, allergies, and related conditions through research, education, advocacy, and support.
