A federal district judge on Monday cleared the way for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in as quickly as two weeks to resume paying hospitals at the rate of average sales price (ASP) plus 6% for their 340B-purchased drugs, ending a previous unlawful Medicare Part B payment cut to ASP minus 22.5% that started in 2018.
