The National Association of Community Health Centers says in a new advocacy document “it’s time to reform the 340B program to recognize the complexities of today’s healthcare system and ensure that true safety-net providers continue to have access to critical resources for America’s most vulnerable and underserved patients.”
It calls for protecting the 340B program’s “true intent” of helping covered entities provide affordable health care services and medications to low-income and vulnerable patients, removing entities that do not fulfill those obligations, adding a contract pharmacy policy to the 340B statute, establishing transparency and accountability requirements, and prohibiting discriminatory practices that divert 340B savings to for-profit companies.
