Sanofi to Revise U.S. 340B Drug Discount Program for Low-Income Hospitals Next Year

Nov 22, 2024, 09:05 PM

Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical company, is set to modify its approach to the U.S. 340B drug discount program, which provides discounts to hospitals serving low-income and uninsured patients. Starting next year, the company plans to require hospitals to submit detailed pharmacy and medical claims, including patient information, for review before receiving discounts. This move intensifies an industry fight against lucrative drug discounts for hospitals. Sanofi's decision follows similar actions by Johnson & Johnson and Eli Lilly, indicating a trend among major pharmaceutical companies to alter how they provide discounts under the 340B program.
