An Act 340B Contract Pharmacy Protection Act
This bill protects 340B contract pharmacies by prohibiting drug manufacturers or distributors from restricting access to discounted 340B drugs or demanding unnecessary data sharing as a condition for sale. It directly affects 340B entities (like community health centers and hospitals) that contract with pharmacies to provide discounted medications to eligible patients. The law bans manufacturers from denying, restricting, or prohibiting 340B drug delivery to authorized pharmacy locations unless federal law prohibits it, and prevents requiring extra claims or utilization data beyond federal requirements. Violations are treated as consumer protection law breaches under Massachusetts law, with each restricted drug package counted as a separate violation.
