Six senators have introduced legislation that would impose new annual reporting requirements on the hospitals and clinics that receive discounted drugs through the federal 340B program, the result of a years-long bipartisan effort to settle a fight between drugmakers and safety-net providers.
The SUSTAIN 340B Act was introduced by Sens. Jerry Moran of Kansas, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Tim Kaine of Virginia, John Boozman of Arkansas and John Hickenlooper of Colorado, members of the Senate 340B Bipartisan Working Group.
