WASHINGTON — Medicare on Friday released new details about how its new drug price negotiation program will work, just two months before it’s set to start.

Medicare released an initial outline of how the program will work in March. Some parts, including the outline of how drugs would be selected for the negotiation process, were immediately final. The agency asked drug companies, patients, and other affected parties to weigh in on other parts about how the process would proceed, what factors would be considered, and how drugmakers would be held accountable.
