What’s in it
AI summary Drug companies and distributors would be stopped from blocking or interfering with how certain healthcare providers get discounted 340B drugs. This rule also prevents them from stopping these drugs from being sent to contract pharmacies. These restrictions apply unless the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says otherwise.1
