After publication, 340B Report received the following comment from Eli Lilly and Co. on its actions that we reported on today:
Report after report shows 340B is not working for patients and needs reform. We support recent executive action on 340B that sought to make insulin available to low-income patients at the same price at which it was purchased. A 340B patient filling their prescription for a penny-priced Lilly insulin at any participating contract pharmacy will be able to do so at the same price we sell it for under the program – approximately 10 cents. We will continue to sell all our medicines to eligible 340B covered entities and their patients.
