Merck is the eighth drug manufacturer to sue HRSA in defense of conditions on 340B pricing when covered entities use contract pharmacies.

Merck Becomes Eighth Drug Maker to Sue HRSA in Defense of 340B Contract Pharmacy Restrictions

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.”
