A new study, conducted by L&M Policy Research on behalf of 340B Health, finds hospitals participating in the 340B program treat much higher shares of underserved patients than non-340B hospitals and physicians’ offices. The study was released on July 29.
Researchers examined demographic characteristics of Medicare beneficiaries using 2019 federal data. Specifically, they looked at age, disability status, race and ethnicity, and dual Medicare/Medicaid eligibility of Medicare-enrolled patients of 340B and non-340B healthcare facilities. The study updates an earlier one using 2016 data.
