Members
of the House of Representatives urged
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to abandon its proposal
to reduce Medicare Part B payment for drugs acquired through the 340B Drug
Pricing Program. CMS has proposed to pay for separately payable, non
pass-through drugs purchased through the 340B program at the average sales
price minus 22.5 percent, rather than the current rate of ASP plus 6 percent.
