Gain an understanding on recent court decisions and what the implications are for hospitals.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision at the end of July 2020 that reversed a previous lower court decision and upheld Medicare payment cuts to hospitals taking part in the 340B drug pricing program that had been in place since 2018. Then in early August 2020 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released a proposed OPPS payment rule for the upcoming year which included a reduction in payment rates to 340B hospitals and an alternative policy to continue paying 340B hospitals at the current rates. This white paper provides background on 340B litigation and discusses HHS's authority to implement 340B payment cuts and the implications for hospitals and next steps.
