What this bill would do

H.R. 7391 is known as the Community Health Center Drug Pricing Protection Act. This bill amends title III of the Public Health Service Act. Its main goal is to make sure federally-qualified health centers do not have to pay more than the 340B ceiling price for covered outpatient drugs when they actually buy them. The bill stops any setup where these health centers pay more than the ceiling price upfront and get money back later through a rebate or reimbursement. These changes apply to drugs purchased on or after the date the act is enacted.
