H4495

Massachusetts H4495 aims to protect 340B providers by prohibiting certain actions against them.

Massachusetts H4495 amends Chapter 176O of the General Laws to safeguard 340B providers, entities participating in the federal 340B drug discount program. The bill prohibits pharmacy benefit managers or third parties from reimbursing 340B covered entities at lower rates than non-340B entities, assessing fees, or interfering with patient choices. It also bans requiring 340B drug claims to include specific modifiers unless for Medicaid payments. This legislation ensures fair treatment and patient choice for 340B providers.
