U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra on Monday extended the COVID-19 national public health emergency (PHE) for another 90 days, to Oct. 17. The move extends 340B program flexibilities implemented during the pandemic’s early days.
In late January, then-Acting HHS Secretary Norris Cochran told state governors that the department had determined that the pandemic PHE would likely continue for all of 2021. PHE declarations expire after 90 days. In remarks to attendees of the 340B Coalition’s summer conference yesterday, Rear Adm. Krista Pedley, Director of the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Office of Pharmacy Affairs, said that HRSA remains committed to providing the utmost flexibility, to the fullest extent possible to all stakeholders participating in the program, while ensuring program integrity.
