An Act to protect 340B providers

This bill protects 340B providers - like community health centers and safety-net hospitals that participate in the federal 340B drug discount program - from unfair practices by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). It prohibits PBMs from reimbursing these providers at lower rates than non-340B entities, charging extra fees for 340B participation, restricting network access based on 340B status, or requiring special drug identifiers. The bill also bans PBMs from imposing higher patient copays or steering patients away from 340B providers. These changes ensure 340B providers can operate fairly and patients can access discounted medications without additional barriers.
