Becker’s Hospital Review highlighted Advocates for Community Health’s support for the bipartisan 340B Rebate Model Delay Act, introduced by Representatives Rob Bresnahan (R-PA), Debbie Dingell (D-MI), Tracey Mann (R-KS), and Lois Frankel (D-FL). The legislation would preserve upfront 340B drug discounts and block implementation of the rebate pilot for two years, from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2028.
The coverage cited ACH’s warning that requiring community health centers to pay full drug costs while awaiting rebates could force reductions in essential patient services. ACH worked closely with the bill’s sponsors and is urging Congress to include the delay in the year-end legislative package, allowing time to consider comprehensive, bipartisan 340B reform.
