Researchers who reported in 2018 that the 340B program leads to hospital-physician practice consolidation but probably not to better care or outcomes for low-income patients have released a new 340B study, this time on hospital provision of uncompensated care. The article appears in a publication that often features critics of the 340B program.
Health economist Sunita Desai and health care policy professor J. Michael McWilliams, M.D., reported yesterday in an article published on the American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC) website they found no evidence that general acute care hospitals and critical access hospitals “increased provision of uncompensated care after entry into the 340B program differentially more than hospitals that never entered or had not yet entered the program.”
