U.S. House Republicans yesterday asked Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to testify March 29 about the Biden administration’s health care budget request.
Becerra will appear before the Energy & Commerce health subcommittee the day after it holds a hearing on ideas to drive down health care costs “through transparency and competition.” The 340B program is expected to be a significant focus of the March 28 hearing. Becerra could be questioned about 340B too on March 29. He might elaborate on HHS’s request to Congress last week to give the Health Resources and Services Administration general rulemaking authority over the 340B program so it can establish “reporting requirements and definitions for the use of [340B] savings and contract pharmacy utilization.”
