Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill aims to protect healthcare in rural and underserved areas by preventing drug manufacturers, health insurers, and pharmacy benefits managers from discriminating against pharmacies and providers in the federal 340B drug discount program. It prohibits actions like denying access to 340B drugs, requiring unnecessary data, or reimbursing 340B entities at lower rates. The bill does not apply to the MaineCare program and ensures its provisions do not conflict with federal law.
