Biologic Drug Prices in Medicare Part B After Entry of Biosimilars to the Market This cohort study evaluates the associations of biosimilar entry to the market with the prices of originator biologics under Medicare Part B reimbursement.

Our new study is out today in @jamanetworkopen.com!
We looked at trends in biologic drug prices after biosimilar competition.

Key takeaways: savings from biosimilars are substantial, but take longer to accrue than commonly seen with generic small molecules.
