The U.S. Department of Health and Human’s Services (HHS) Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) long-awaited administrative dispute resolution (ADR) final rule went into effect last week, on January 13, 2021. The ADR regulations, which have lingered in HHS since 2010, arrive amid increasing tensions and a flood of 340B-related litigation between covered entities, manufacturers, and HHS.
Background
The ADR final rule originates from a 1996 notice published by HRSA that established a process for manufacturers and covered entities to voluntarily resolve disputes involving drug diversion, duplicate discounts, ceiling price violations, and a set of minor other issues. In 2010, the Affordable Care Act directed the Secretary to promulgate ADR regulations. HRSA issued an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking on September 20, 2010, seeking comment on the original process established by the 1996 notice. Six
