Hospitals have sued, again, to halt the Trump administration’s 340B rebate pilot, STAT reported. The filing is the second legal challenge to the administration’s effort to rework the 340B drug discount program, which requires drugmakers to sell outpatient drugs at steep discounts to hospitals and clinics serving low-income and uninsured patients. The rebate pilot would shift the program from upfront discounts to a rebate model, a change hospitals say threatens a funding stream that supports uncompensated care. Details of the latest filing were not independently confirmed.
Hospitals sue again to block 340B rebate pilot
Hospitals filed suit to halt the Trump administration's 340B rebate pilot, the second legal challenge to the drug-discount program overhaul.
Why it matters: The 340B program is a major funding channel for safety-net hospitals, and the rebate pilot would change how discounts flow to covered entities.
