Equitable Access to 340B Act

HR 9127, the Equitable Access to 340B Act, expands eligibility for the federal 340B drug discount program. It adds territorial disproportionate share hospitals (DSH) in the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to the list of covered entities under the program. These hospitals must meet Medicaid DSH requirements to qualify. The bill directly affects healthcare providers in U.S. territories, enabling them to purchase medications at discounted prices under the 340B program.
