Court strikes HRSA 340B policy restricting initial hospital drug purchases through GPOs
The American Hospital Association reports that a federal court vacated a 2013 Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) policy restricting how certain 340B hospitals make initial drug purchases through group purchasing organizations. The ruling found the policy unlawful and ruled in favor of Premier Inc., which challenged the restriction. The decision could impact how hospitals participating in the 340B program manage outpatient drug purchasing strategies.
