What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill would allow rural emergency hospitals to buy certain prescription drugs at discounted prices through a federal program called 340B. Rural emergency hospitals are a type of Medicare provider that serves rural areas and provides emergency care and other short-term services where patients typically stay less than 24 hours. The 340B program currently requires drug companies that participate in Medicaid to sell certain outpatient drugs at reduced prices to specific types of healthcare facilities, and this bill would add qualifying rural emergency hospitals to the list of facilities that can get these discounted drugs.
