Nonprofit Sues Amgen Over Termination of Discounted Drug Sales

Sagebrush Health Services, a nonprofit organization serving over 10,000 patients in Nevada, has filed a lawsuit against Amgen Inc., alleging that the pharmaceutical company unlawfully terminated the sale of discounted drugs and retracted millions of dollars in past discounts. The dispute centers on the 340B Drug Pricing Program, which allows eligible healthcare organizations to purchase outpatient drugs at reduced prices. Sagebrush claims that Amgen ignored the established federal process for challenging 340B eligibility and acted unilaterally, temporarily preventing clinics from accessing necessary medications. The lawsuit, filed in California Superior Court in Ventura County, seeks at least $7 million in returned funds, treble damages under California law, and punitive damages. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently confirmed Sagebrush's eligibility under the 340B Program.
