Medicare's highest-ever price increase in 2022 was driven by estimated costs for the controversial Alzheimer's drug Aduhelm. But even with severely limited coverage, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services determined that a mid-year premium adjustment is not operationally feasible. HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra announced though that they would go down next year.

What are Aduhelm's side effects?​

The most common side effect is painful brain swelling, which occurred in about 35% of patients in the clinical trials. Biogen reports that this side effect is most commonly seen as short-term swelling in areas of the brain that usually resolves over time. Some people may also have small spots of bleeding in or on the surface of the brain with the swelling. Over 20% of people in clinical trials had headaches related to the brain swelling. Healthcare providers prescribing Aduhelm will be required to do magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans before and during treatment with AduhelmTM to check for brain swelling.

What are the benefits of Aduhelm?​

Aduhelm has been shown to break down the amyloid plaques described above but has yet to show clinically significant slowing of cognitive decline, such as memory loss, wandering/getting lost, trouble handling money and paying bills, repeating questions, taking longer to complete normal daily tasks, and personality and behavior changes.

With inflation this year I would take a stab they might not go up but will not go down and stay right around what they are today.
