Massachusetts H1274 prohibits pharmacy benefit managers from discriminating against hospitals and patients in the 340B drug discount program.

Massachusetts H1274 aims to prevent pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) from discriminating against hospitals and patients participating in the federal 340B drug discount program. The bill prohibits PBMs from reimbursing 340B covered entities at lower rates, assessing fees based on 340B participation, restricting network participation, requiring specific contracts, imposing claim modifiers, or limiting coverage and benefits for drugs obtained from 340B entities. It also ensures patients' rights to choose 340B covered entities without interference.
