Drug price increases or high costs

Anyone can notify the Drug Price Transparency Program about a high or increased cost of a prescription drug. Consumer notifications are published on the Data webpage and used in the annual report to the Oregon Legislature. Any personally identifying information will be kept confidential.

Upon request, we will provide options in an alternate format for people with disabilities or in another language. If you have questions or want help sharing a price increase or to request an accommodation, email rx.prices@dcbs.oregon.gov or leave a message at 833-210-4560 (toll-free). Tell us your name, phone number, the best time to call you back, and any details that will help us provide what you need. Also, tell us if you have suggestions for improving how consumers notify us of high or increased prices.
