Drug manufacturer Merck sued the federal government on Friday over the government’s May 6 letter telling the company its conditions on 340B pricing when hospitals and health centers use contract pharmacies are illegal. The government warned Merck it could be penalized up to $6,323 per each instance of overcharging.
In a complaint filed July 8 in federal district court in Washington, D.C., Merck says the letter from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration “exceeds the agency’s statutory authority.”
