What’s in it

AI summary Companies that make or ship certain discounted drugs cannot stop or interfere with healthcare providers getting those medicines. This rule also prevents them from blocking the delivery of these drugs to pharmacies that work with those providers. These restrictions apply unless the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says otherwise.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to manufacturers and distributors of 340B drugs. “340B drug”, “manufacturer”, and “distributor” are defined in the bill. The bill prohibits a manufacturer or distributor from, directly or indirectly, denying, restricting, or interfering with the acquisition of a 340B drug by a covered entity, or the delivery of a 340B drug to a contract pharmacy, unless otherwise prohibited by the United States department of health and human services.

Why it matters. Drug manufacturers and distributors would be prohibited from denying, restricting, or interfering with how covered entities acquire 340B drugs or how those drugs are delivered to contract pharmacies. These restrictions apply unless the United States Department of Health and Human Services prohibits the action.2
