No 340B Savings for Transgender Care Act
To prevent 340B covered entities from using savings derived for sex reassignment surgeries, hormonal therapies, and for other purposes.
Summary
The No 340B Savings for Transgender Care Act amends the 340B drug discount program by adding restrictions on how covered entities can use savings from discounted drug prices. The bill prohibits covered entities from using funds derived from the difference between 340B ceiling prices and actual drug acquisition costs to pay for sex reassignment surgeries or hormone treatments furnished for gender alteration of transgender individuals. The restriction applies only to savings generated through the 340B program discount mechanism, not to other funding sources that covered entities may use for these services.
