Hospitals Sue HHS Over Drug Companies’ Denials of 340B Pricing
Five hospital associations, the association of hospital pharmacists, and three hospitals last night sued the U.S. Health and Human Services Department and HHS Secretary Alex Azar “to take action against” drug manufacturers “refusing to offer 340B discounts for covered drugs if a covered entity dispenses the drug through a contract pharmacy.”
The American Hospital Association (AHA), 340B Health, America’s Essential Hospitals, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the Children’s Hospital Association (CHA), and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists sued HHS and Azar together with Avera St. Mary’s Hospital in Pierre, S.D., Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News, Va., and St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco, Calif.
