HHS Secretary Becerra Pledges to Keep Fighting Against 340B Contract Pharmacy Restrictions “Because it’s the Law”

U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra said yesterday that “we’re going to continue to fight” drug manufacturers that restrict 340B pricing when covered entities use contract pharmacies “because it’s the law.”

Becerra’s Feb. 14 remarks about manufacturers’ actions, made at the National Association of Community Health Centers’ (NACHC) 2022 Policy & Issues (P&I) Virtual Forum, came soon after GlaxoSmithKline announced conditions on 340B pricing when hospitals use contract pharmacies to dispense nine of its respiratory medicines. GSK’s new policy exempts health centers and other grantee 340B entities. Eleven of the 14 manufacturers with restrictive 340B contract pharmacy policies target hospitals only.
