Litigation Content
Why this Matters:
The plaintiffs allege that a new 340B pilot rebate payment model violates the Administrative Procedure Act and imposes burdensome administrative and financial costs on participating hospitals. Instead of allowing hospitals to purchase a drug at a rebated price, the pilot model would require hospitals to pay drug manufacturers the full price of certain drugs up front and then seek a rebate once the drugs have been administered to eligible patients.
Potential Impact:
Hospitals argue that paying the full price of certain drugs up front will limit resources otherwise available for patient care and hamper hospitals’ ability to provide comprehensive care.
