HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra told a House committee today "We are on this one" in reference to drug companies denying 340B pricing on their products.

AHA Asks Becerra to Waive a 340B Hospital Eligibility Requirement During COVID-19 Emergency

The American Hospital Association (AHA) yesterday asked U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra to temporarily waive 340B program eligibility criteria for hospitals at risk of losing their 340B eligibility due to changes in payer mix caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Disproportionate share hospitals (DSH), sole community hospitals (SCH), and rural referral centers (RRC) must have a specified Medicare DSH adjustment percentage to qualify for 340B (greater than 11.75 percent for DSH hospitals and greater than 8 percent for SCHs and RRCs). Children’s hospitals and free-standing cancer hospitals must have a payer mix that would give them a DSH percentage above 11.75 percent.
