Drug discount protections for Tennessee providers

Beginning July 1, 2025, Tennessee protects providers and their pharmacies that use the federal 340B drug discount program. Drug makers, agents, and affiliates cannot impose extra data or inventory rules unless required by federal health officials or state law. Claim reversals, resubmissions, or clarifications are allowed only for normal business reasons unrelated to 340B. Audit and credentialing rules cannot be stricter than those for comparable providers outside the program. The attorney general can also bar requirements that interfere with access to discounts. Drug makers cannot block drug purchases or delivery to providers or their authorized locations, unless law bars receipt. That delivery protection does not cover restrictions already in place on or before June 1, 2025. Contractors dispensing drugs or managing program participation cannot interfere with providers' contracts, future business relationships, or drug choices. They must leave out claims whose inclusion would cause the provider a net loss. Violating the manufacturer requirements or purchase-and-delivery protections is an unfair or deceptive practice, carrying a $50,000 civil penalty per violation. Each affected drug package counts as a separate violation. These protections exclude TennCare, CoverKids, and the state's prescription drug discount plan, including successor programs. Federal law controls where it overrides state law; the law does not guarantee lower patient bills.
