Drug manufacturer Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) said on Friday that health centers will be subject to its limits on 340B pricing involving contract pharmacies starting Sept. 1. The restrictions previously applied to hospitals only. “At this time, for all other federal grantee types,” the conditions do not apply, it said.
Under BI’s 340B policy update, the company will ship health centers’ 340B-purchased drugs to multiple contract pharmacies only if the centers provide 340B contract pharmacy claims data to BI via its vendor 340B ESP. Health centers lacking an in-house pharmacy can designate a single contract pharmacy to receive and dispense 340B-purchased BI drugs. Contract pharmacies that are wholly owned by a 340B covered entity or are under common ownership with a 340B health system may apply for an exemption, BI said.
