View Rule

This final rule further delays the effective date of the January 5, 2017, final rule (82 FR 1210; RIN 0906-AA89) that sets forth the calculation of the 340B ceiling price and application of civil monetary penalties to all drug manufacturers that are required to make their drugs available to covered entities under the 340B Program. The final rule is required under the Affordable Care Act and amends section 340B of the Public Health Service Act to impose monetary sanctions (not to exceed $5,000 per instance) on drug manufacturers who intentionally charge a covered entity a price above the ceiling price established under the procedures of the 340B Program and also define standards and methodology for the calculation of ceiling prices for purposes of the 340B Program.
