Government health officials need to take immediate action to fully enforce the law against drug makers who are denying 340B drug discounts to providers who use contract pharmacies to dispense 340B-priced drugs, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.VA.) and U.S. Senator Mike Braun ((R-Ind.) told U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in a letter sent Wednesday.
“The restrictions imposed by drug companies on 340B discounts are causing alarming financial losses for safety-net hospitals, health centers, and other 340B providers as more companies impose such limits and increasingly target discounts on costly specialty drugs, [HHS’s Office of Inspector General] needs to fully enforce the law against all drug manufacturers who unlawfully overcharge safety net health care providers,” said the letter. HHS Inspector General Christi Grimm and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Administrator Carole Johnson were copied on the letter.
