The National Rural Health Association (NRHA) asked U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra this week to act against drug manufacturers that deny 340B pricing when covered entities use contract pharmacies.
NRHA CEO Alan Morgan also urged Becerra in a Feb. 22 letter to use his power under Section 1135 of the Social Security Act to ensure that rural hospitals do not lose their 340B eligibility due to changes in their patient mix caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Section 1135 lets the HHS secretary waive or modify statutory requirements during major disasters or public health emergencies for health care providers that serve Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries.
