About this data

Rxcurve reports Medicare Part B drug payment limits, quarter by quarter, straight from the CMS files.

Where it comes from

Every number on Rxcurve is computed by a script from the quarterly Medicare Part B drug payment limit files that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes on its ASP pricing files page. The site covers 1Q21 to 4Q26. When CMS re-posts a corrected file for a past quarter, the newer file is used and the earlier one is kept and shown as an earlier version.

What a payment limit is

For most Part B drugs, the payment limit is based on the Average Sales Price (ASP) that manufacturers report to CMS. Each quarter's limit reflects sales data from about two quarters earlier. For example, the 4Q26 limits reflect sales from around 2Q26 (April–June 2026). So a change in a payment limit shows up months after the change in prices that caused it.

What it does not mean

Rxcurve is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to CMS or any other government agency. Check the CMS files before relying on any figure.
