An Act prohibiting PBMs from discriminating against hospitals and patients participating in the 340B drug discount program

Summary

The bill adds a new section to Massachusetts law that bars pharmacy benefit managers and other third‑party payers from treating 340B covered entities differently. It prevents lower reimbursement rates, extra fees, network exclusions, contract mandates, special claim markings (except for Medicaid), higher patient costs, and any steering of patients away from 340B providers. The goal is to ensure hospitals, pharmacies and patients that use 340B discounts receive the same treatment as other providers.
