In accordance with the December 29, 2025, U.S. District Court for the District of Maine order in American Hospital Association et al. v. Kennedy et al., No. 25-cv-600 (D. Me.) and the subsequent January 7, 2026, U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the First Circuit order in American Hospital Association et al. v. Kennedy et al., No. 25-2236 (1st Cir.), HRSA’s Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA) is pausing the implementation of the 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program for all covered entity types at this time.

OPA will update stakeholders on developments regarding the Pilot as they arise.
