340B DSH Hospitals More Likely To Treat Black, Disabled, and Low-Income Patients With Chronic Conditions, Study Indicates

340B disproportionate share (DSH) hospital outpatient departments are more likely than other hospital outpatient departments and independent physician offices to treat Medicare beneficiaries with chronic conditions who are Black, disabled, or who have low incomes, a new 340B hospital-funded study concludes.

The study commissioned by hospital group 340B Heath compared the characteristics of 3.8 million Medicare beneficiaries with 27 common chronic conditions treated in 340B DSH hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) to the characteristics of beneficiaries treated in non-340B HOPDs and independent physician offices (IPOs).
