CORRECTION Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021, 8:15 p.m.—Earlier today, we misdescribed Novo Nordisk’s 340B contract pharmacy policy. Beginning on Jan. 1, 2021, Novo Nordisk stopped facilitating bill to/ship to distribution of 340B product to hospital contract pharmacies. We incorrectly said Novo Nordisk later amended its policy to allow 340B contract pharmacies within a 40-mile radius of a hospital. It was Novartis, not Novo Nordisk, that amended its 340B contract pharmacy policy, effective Nov. 16, 2020, to honor hospital contract pharmacy arrangements so long as the contract pharmacy is located within a 40-mile radius of its parent hospital.
UPDATE Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021, 8:15 p.m.—Sanofi late today asked us to update the statement it provided to us yesterday. We have done so. The company says it disagrees with Mosaic Health’s accusations and will vigorously defend itself.
Four insulin manufacturers conspired to cease 340B pricing on drugs shipped to contract pharmacies last year after the failure of a $7 million-plus joint lobbying push to limit 340B discounts for insulin and diabetes medicines, New York health center Mosaic Health alleges in an antitrust class action against the companies.
