(b) As used in this section, “340B covered entity” means an entity authorized to participate in the federal 340B Drug Pricing Program under Section 340B(a)(4) of the federal Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 256b(a)(4)) and includes any pharmacy under contract with the entity to dispense drugs on behalf of the entity.
(c) The following provisions may not be contained in a contract between a pharmacy benefit manager and a 340B covered entity:

(2) A fee or adjustment that is not imposed on a pharmacy that is not a 340B covered entity.
(3) A fee or adjustment amount that exceeds the fee or adjustment amount imposed on a pharmacy that is not a 340B covered entity.

A violation of this subsection by a pharmacy benefit manager constitutes an unfair or deceptive act or practice in the business of insurance under IC 27-4-1-4.
