Aspects of this proposed policy will affect nearly all hospitals paid under the Outpatient Prospective Payment System, CMS says.
Hospitals in the 340B program will get $9 billion under a proposed rule to make them whole in a lump sum payment, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
An estimated $9 billion is owed to affected 340B providers for claims from 2018 through 2022, CMS said. The proposed rule contains the calculations of the amounts owed to each of the approximately 1,600 affected 340B covered entity hospitals.
CMS estimates that for 2018 through the approximate third quarter of 2022, certain providers received $10.5 billion less in 340B drug payments than they would have without the 340B policy.
