AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the federal 340B program, which requires drug makers to sell outpatient drugs at discounted prices to certain hospitals and clinics. It defines who counts as a patient eligible for discounted drugs and requires drug makers to offer the discounts when drugs are dispensed through outside contract pharmacies, which must be registered with the government. It sets ownership, integration, and community-need location rules for off-site hospital locations. Participating hospitals must extend financial assistance to patients up to at least 400 percent of the federal poverty level and must follow limits on medical debt collection. Participating hospitals and clinics must report yearly data, including how they use program savings, which the government would post online.
