Biden administration proposes rescinding rule on community health center insulin discounts
The Biden administration proposed rescinding a final rule introduced under the Trump administration that would require community health centers to pass on 340B drug discounts for insulin and injectable epinephrine to low-income patients.
In July 2020, President Donald Trump signed four executive orders aimed at reining in prescription drug costs. One required that federally qualified health centers, which purchase insulin and epinephrine through what's called the 340B drug program, pass along any savings they receive from discounted drug prices to medically underserved patients.
The rule blocks health centers from receiving future federal grants unless they charge patients no more than their acquisition price for insulin and EpiPens — epinephrine auto-injectors — plus a small administration fee.
