HHS orders 6 drugmakers to repay providers for violating 340B

Dive Brief: HHS Health Resources and Services Administration called out six pharmaceutical companies Tuesday for violating rules under the 340B drug discount program, ordering them to repay affected providers for previous overcharges and warning of more penalties if they don t comply. In July 2020 some drugmakers stopped giving the 340B ceiling price on their products sold to covered entities and dispensed through contract pharmacies, while others limited sales by requiring specific data or selling products only after a covered entity demonstrated 340B compliance, according to HRSA. In letters from Diana Espinosa, acting administrator of HRSA, the agency requested AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, United Therapeutics, Sanofi, Novo Nordisk and Novartis give an update on their plans to restart selling covered outpatient drugs at the 340B price to covered entities that dispense medications through contract pharmacies by June 1.

However, the 340B Program grew by leaps and bounds over the last fifteen years and, for many larger hospital systems, it transformed into a major source of revenue supporting a multitude of prog

The HRSA maintained that the drug manufacturers in question – AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi and United Therapeutics – placed restrictions on the 340B program for hospitals that dispense drugs through contract pharmacies, and these restrictions resulted in overcharges, which are in direct violation of the statute. Various actions from the manufacturers limited beneficiaries access to discounted drugs available through the 340B program, HRSA said. Some, for instance, stopped providing the 340B ceiling price on products sold to covered entities and dispensed through contract pharmacies. Others limited sales by requiring specific
