A major drug company’s attempt to turn 340B drug pricing program discounts into rebates made big headlines in recent weeks. Maureen Testoni, president and CEO of 340B Health, will review how this potentially major upheaval came about, how 340B stakeholders responded, and how the drugmaker backed off after the federal government threatened it with massive penalties.
This debate is by no means over.
The idea of imposing rebates in 340B is not a new one, and the concept has come back into prominence recently amid the ongoing implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act, which will have important effects on 340B.
