Prescription Drug Price Transparency program

The Prescription Drug Price Transparency Act, enacted during the 2018 Legislative Session, established Oregon’s Drug Price Transparency program within the Department of Consumer and Business Services. The program is directed by the statute to:

1. Increase transparency regarding prescription drug costs and prices from pharmaceutical manufacturers
2. Gather information from health insurance companies on prescription drugs
3. Provide consumers a way to notify the department on a prescription drug price increase

• The program hosted a public hearing on prescription drug prices on Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2019 at the Oregon State Capitol. The public was invited to provide comments and questions via the questionnaire. There were also satellite locations for the public to attend in Astoria, Medford, and Pendleton. More information can be found on the Public hearings page. The program is still accepting stories from the public on how rising prescription drug prices have impacted their lives.
