AHA report demonstrates benefits of 340B program
The AHA May 25 published a report on the 340B Drug Pricing Program, its history and value to hospitals and patients, and details on 340B contract pharmacy arrangements.
“The 340B program plays an important public policy role in ensuring access to essential drugs and services for low-income and underserved Americans receiving care at 340B hospitals nationwide,” the report concludes. “Without the program, many patients could have trouble accessing affordable medications and critical health services, jeopardizing their health and well-being.”
