Introduced Text

Massachusetts H4490 prohibits discrimination against 340B drug discount program participants.

Massachusetts H4490 amends state laws to prohibit discrimination against entities participating in the 340B drug discount program. This includes preventing insurers and other entities from imposing different terms, fees, or conditions on 340B-covered entities or contract pharmacies compared to non-participating entities. It also ensures that patients can choose to receive drugs from these entities without interference. Violations of these provisions are considered unfair or deceptive practices, and the attorney general has jurisdiction to enforce the law.
