Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) is pushing for passage of a package of 13 “Less for Rx” bills to control prescription drug costs, including one to eliminate payer and pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) discrimination against certain 340B covered entities.
The Less for Rx package’s 340B-related bill would apply only to federally qualified health centers, critical access hospitals, federal Ryan White HIV/AIDS program grantees, and these covered entities’ in-house and contract pharmacies. It would bar reimbursing them for 340B-purchased drugs at a lower rate “than that paid to for the same drug to pharmacies that are similar in prescription volume. Fees, chargebacks, or other adjustments assessed against covered entities because they participate in the 340B program would also be prohibited.
