Introduced Text

Massachusetts H779 protects 340B providers in the MassHealth program from restrictions on discounted drug purchases.

Massachusetts H779 amends the General Laws to ensure that the Secretary of Health and Human Services cannot restrict or limit eligible hospitals' access to discounted prescription drugs under the 340B program unless certain conditions are met. The bill mandates that the Secretary provide notice to eligible hospitals at least 180 days before any proposed restriction or limitation. It also requires a report detailing the proposed restriction or limitation, anticipated savings, fiscal impact on affected hospitals, and measures to mitigate the impact.
