ABBVIE INC has filed a lawsuit against the government of the United States, seeking clearer guidance on patient eligibility for a federal drug discount program. Under the 340B program, drugmakers are required to supply medicines at significantly reduced prices to eligible healthcare providers serving low-income populations. However, the company is seeking an updated eligibility definition, asserting that existing guidance has created loopholes that allow hospitals and clinics to claim discounts for patients with minimal or unrelated contact.
