Rule Implementing 340B Executive Order on Insulin Might be Imminent
The Trump administration signaled today it might publish an interim final rule imminently to implement an executive order requiring community health centers to pass along all 340B savings on insulin and injectable epinephrine to patients.
340B Report learned that the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) this morning cancelled virtual meetings with community health center representatives previously scheduled for today. Since Sept. 1, OMB has been reviewing a U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) interim final rule to implement the order. Health centers say the order is unnecessary and could threaten patient access to affordable prescription drugs.
