In Surprise Move, Biden Administration Proposes Keeping Trump’s Nearly 30% Cut in 340B Hospitals’ Drug Reimbursement

The Biden administration said today it proposes to continue a nearly 30% reduction in Medicare Part B reimbursement for hospitals’ 340B-purchased drugs.

The Trump administration implemented the payment reduction in January 2018. Hospital groups say it costs affected 340B hospitals $1.6 billion a year, and they have lobbied the new Democratic administration to end the cut. They say it hurts safety-net hospitals and low-income patients, undermines the 340B program, and does virtually nothing to reduce Medicare beneficiaries’ out of pocket expenses.
