Stops drugmakers from blocking 340B

Drug makers cannot deny or restrict discounted 340B drugs to covered clinics, their contract pharmacies, or approved sites. They also cannot require claims or other data to get 340B drugs, unless federal law requires it. Covered entities can sue and a court can order the conduct to stop and fine up to $5,000 per day per violation. Each package involved counts as a separate violation. The attorney general can also enforce this law under the state consumer protection rules.

Annual 340B reports and fees

Federally qualified health centers and certain hospitals in Washington must file a 340B report each year by April 1 after their fiscal year ends. Drug makers must also report by April 1 on last year’s 340B units and discounts, including average discounts for top drugs. The state can charge yearly filing fees; covered‑entity fees are tiered by revenue and cannot cover more than 25% of the state’s program costs. Late or missing reports can trigger fines up to $1,000 per day, with a 30‑day window to fix after written notice. The authority may assess up to $1,000 per day for reporting failures, and those fines go to the Medicaid fraud penalty account.

More public 340B and price data

The state publishes a yearly report by January 1 with aggregated 340B data, program costs, and fees collected. Some covered‑entity data items may be released by name; most other reported data stays confidential. Legislators and the state’s drug affordability and cost‑transparency boards can access confidential data for official work under strict protections. The law also clarifies who is covered and which drugs are tracked, including wholesale price thresholds: at least $10,000 for short courses or a 30‑day supply, or over $100 with large price hikes (20% in 1 year or 50% in 3 years). Covered entities must be in Washington, and the law defines covered manufacturers.
