About

This event has passed. The information remains as historical context; confirm current dates, registration, costs, and materials at the official source before planning.

Senate HELP Chairman Bill Cassidy released a discussion draft of the 340B for Patients Act on June 29, 2026 and is accepting written stakeholder feedback through August 28, 2026, submitted to 340bforpatients@help.senate.gov. The draft addresses 340B patient-definition rules and contract-pharmacy arrangements. A separate bipartisan House proposal, the SECURE 340B Act, is advancing on a different track with different rebate and pharmacy-access provisions.

Why It Matters

340B savings cross-subsidize services at most health centers, so patient-definition and contract-pharmacy changes go straight to the operating margin. This comment window is the most concrete near-term advocacy action a health center policy or pharmacy lead can take.
