One hundred eighty-one U.S. House members—144 Democrats and 37 Republicans—urged the Biden administration on Friday to quickly impose civil monetary penalties against all drug manufacturers that restrict access to 340B pricing when covered entities use contract pharmacies.
“Manufacturers have received multiple warnings that their overcharges are unlawful, but still refuse to comply,” the representatives said in a July 15 letter to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. The letter was released this morning. “Further delay of enforcement actions emboldens more manufacturers to begin overcharging safety net providers, threatening the integrity of the entire 340B program.”
