The American Hospital Association (AHA), together with 340B Health, the Minnesota Hospital Association, and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, filed an amicus brief in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. The brief aims to defend the state’s law that protects 340B pricing for contract pharmacy arrangements.
This legal action comes as the AHA has previously submitted similar briefs in various states, including recent filings in Missouri and West Virginia. The organization emphasizes the importance of maintaining accessible pricing for essential medications under the 340B program.
Moreover, comparable laws protecting 340B pricing have successfully withstood legal challenges in other states, notably Louisiana and Maryland. The collective effort from these health organizations underscores a commitment to safeguarding the financial viability of healthcare providers that rely on the 340B program to support patient care.
