340B PATIENTS Act of 2025

Increased Access to Vital Medications: By prohibiting manufacturers from placing conditions that limit how or where drugs are delivered or dispensed, the bill helps ensure patients can access specialty drugs for chronic or life-threatening conditions (Section 2(a)(9)).

Enhanced Resource Stretching for Health Providers: The bill clarifies that covered entities can contract with pharmacies to dispense drugs, which helps these entities stretch scarce resources to provide more comprehensive services and care to more patients (Section 2(b)(2)(A)).

Protection Against Discriminatory Practices: The legislation prevents manufacturers from imposing conditions that disproportionately impact covered entities or single them out from other customers (Section 3(a)(1)(C)(iii)).

Accountability for Manufacturers: The bill introduces civil monetary penalties—up to $2,000,000 per day—for manufacturers that intentionally violate the rules regarding drug dispensing and contract pharmacies (Section 3(b)(1)(A)).
