Groups representing health centers, HIV/AIDS clinics, and hospitals asked federal appeals courts in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., this week to hold that drug manufacturers must give covered entities 340B discounts on drugs when entities use contract pharmacies to fill prescriptions for their patients.
