AHA comments on Medicare Part B Inflation Reduction Act rebate guidance
In comments submitted Saturday, AHA generally supports the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ initial guidance implementing inflation rebates for certain single source drugs and biosimilar biological products covered by Medicare Part B, but recommends changes to prevent incentivizing drug shortages and burdening 340B hospitals. Drug units purchased under the 340B program are not subject to the Inflation Reduction Act rebates.
