Summary
The Patient Access Act of 2024 amends the Social Security Act to create an exception to federal antikickback sanctions for drug manufacturers that provide travel, lodging, and meal assistance to patients prescribed their drugs. The exception applies to patients with income at or below median family income in their region who live more than 50 miles or one hour's driving distance from the nearest treatment facility, and includes strict conditions such as non-advertisement, income verification, and prohibitions on billing federal health care programs. The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office to study the impact of these arrangements on drug access, utilization of generic and biosimilar alternatives, and potential waste or fraud within three years.
