2023 Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program Patient-Focused Listening Sessions: Speaker Registration
[
surveys.cms.gov]
CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) expects a high level of interest in the Listening Sessions. CMS will use
a process to randomly select speakers from among the individuals who register for the chance to speak. Approximately 20
speakers will be selected for each Listening Session. A confirmation email will be sent to selected speakers.
To accommodate as many speakers as possible during each session, public statements will be limited to no more than
three minutes per person..
