The AHA Nov. 7 filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas in defense of the state's law protecting against deceptive acts or practices related to 340B pricing for contract pharmacy arrangements.
The AHA has filed similar briefs in multiple states, including most recently in Minnesota, Missouri and West Virginia.
Comparable laws have been upheld in Louisiana and Maryland.
