Iowa Tries Again to End Alleged PBM Bias Against 340B Providers and Pharmacies

Identical bills have been introduced in the Iowa House and Senate to bar pharmacy benefit managers and insurers from using alleged discriminatory practices against 340B covered entities and their contract pharmacies, including reimbursing them at a lower rate or imposing unfair contract terms. Similar legislation died last year.

According to the state legislature’s website, a House Health and Human Services subcommittee voted 3-0 on Feb. 8 to recommend passing House Study Bill 137 as introduced. A Senate Commerce subcommittee voted Feb. 7 to recommend passing Senate Study Bill 1098 with unspecified amendments.
