The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) gives notice of the following proposed action regarding reimbursement methodology for physician-administered drugs (PAD) purchased through the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) 340B Program under the State Plan under Title XIX of the Social Security Act for Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid).
Effective on or after Dec. 1, 2025, SCDHHS will amend the South Carolina Title XIX State Plan to establish reimbursement methodology for PAD purchased through the HRSA 340B Program and delivered in an outpatient setting, to not exceed the provider's actual acquisition cost.

Based on the action above, SCDHHS anticipates an annual cost savings of approximately $2.3 million total dollars.
