This weekly series provides brief summaries to help you stay in the know on how 340B cases are developing across the country.

  • Issues at Stake: Medicare Payment; ADR Rule; Definition of Patient
  • Where Things Stand:
    • A District Court issued an opinion in AHA v. Becerra remanding the issue of remedies in the Medicare 340B payment cuts to HHS and declining to vacate the payment rule.
    • Seven cases will remain stayed pending a decision in AHA v. Becerra regarding remedies for the now-vacated 340B Medicare payment cuts.
    • Parties in one case challenging the ADR Rule, which is currently stayed, moved for the dismissal of the action without prejudice.
