Bill Summary
A BILL To prevent 340B covered entities from using savings derived for sex reassignment surgeries, hormonal therapies, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "No 340B Savings for Transgender Care Act," seeks to modify the Public Health Service Act by prohibiting 340B covered entities (healthcare providers and organizations that participate in a federal drug pricing program allowing them to purchase outpatient drugs at discounted rates) from using the financial savings generated through the 340B program to pay for specific medical services related to transgender healthcare. Specifically, the bill would restrict covered entities from using the price difference between the 340B ceiling price and the actual drug acquisition cost to fund sex reassignment surgeries or hormone treatments intended for gender alteration. The proposed legislation effectively aims to limit the use of 340B program savings for transgender-related medical procedures by explicitly defining and prohibiting such uses. By targeting the financial mechanism of the 340B drug pricing program, the bill seeks to prevent federal program savings from being used to support medical services for gender transition, potentially impacting healthcare access and affordability for transgender individuals.
