This section amends Section 1115A of the Social Security Act to include the Most Favored Nations Pricing Model. The Most Favored Nations Pricing Model requires specified manufacturers to provide access to the most-favored-nation price of covered drugs to eligible individuals and providers. Manufacturers must report information to the Secretary for calculating the most-favored-nation price. The Secretary may suspend the requirements if a manufacturer is likely to enter into a covered agreement before April 1, 2029. The model will be carried out for a period of 5 years. A 'covered agreement' requires manufacturers to provide most-favored-nation pricing, report information, and commit to increasing manufacturing operations in the United States. The 'most-favored-nation price' is defined as the second-lowest applicable net price for a drug in reference countries (Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom).
