Price transparency rule.
On September 2, 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published a final rule to enable better real-time cost-sharing of prescription drug benefits and speed up the process of securing prior authorizations for medications. The rules will modernize electronic prescribing, allow real-time prescription benefit checks (which show the drug cost for the insured patient at various pharmacies and what they could pay for alternative medications), and streamline prior authorization with modern API technology.
