Discount Card Program. The conference agreement requires each card sponsor to provide each enrollee with access to negotiated prices. These negotiated prices would take into account negotiated price concessions such as discounts, direct or indirect subsidies, rebates, and direct or indirect remunerations for covered drugs. Negotiated prices include any dispensing fees. Seniors currently benefit from prescription drug assistance programs offered by pharmaceutical companies. Conferees intend that these programs continue to be offered until the full implementation of the prescription drug benefit. Nothing in this conference report shall be interpreted as encouraging the discontinuation or diminution of these benefits.
