WASHINGTON — A bipartisan group of senators released a draft of legislation to resolve controversial disputes in the 340B drug discount program, according to documents obtained by STAT.

The drug discount program, which was designed to support providers that serve low-income patients, has been increasingly contentious as it’s grown in recent years. The draft legislation makes a number of changes to address some of the most controversial points, including its rules over so-called “contract pharmacies” and which subsidiaries can qualify for discounts.

The draft would also require more oversight, and it would give the Health Resources and Services Administration more money to do it with a new user fee program. Providers would pay HRSA up to 0.1% of the savings it receives from the program.
