U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra told a member of Congress during a hearing this morning “We are on this one” when asked about six drug manufacturers’ denials of 340B drug discounts when covered entities use contract pharmacies to dispense the products.
Becerra was testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee about his department’s budget request for the fiscal year that starts in October. Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) said to him, “Six pharma companies, I believe illegally, are not passing on the discounts required under the 340B program.”
