SB480

Prohibits drug manufacturers from limiting access to 340B drugs by contract pharmacies.

Prohibits drug manufacturers and wholesale distributors from limiting or denying access to 340B drugs by pharmacies contracted with 340B covered entities. This bill aims to preserve the integrity of the 340B drug pricing program by ensuring that patients, particularly those in rural areas, can access affordable medications. Contract pharmacies play a vital role in ensuring that patients can access medications, especially in rural areas where many hospitals do not have an in-house pharmacy.
