Dive Brief:
The Trump administration is taking another shot at requiring rebates in the 340B drug discount program.
On Friday, the Health Resources and Services Administration said some discounts in 340B would be given in the form of rebates, instead of upfront savings, starting in 2027. It’s the second time the Trump administration has tried to impose rebates in the program, after another proposed pilot was scrapped earlier this year following losses in court.
Hospitals railed against the announcement, with the the American Hospital Association, a prominent lobbying group, saying it was “considering all available options” to prevent the pilot program from going into effect.
