The financial impact to 340B hospitals due to drug manufacturers’ restrictions on contract pharmacy more than doubled between December 2021 and March 2022, a new survey shows.
Hospital trade group 340B Health said the median annualized loss of contract pharmacy savings to disproportionate share (DSH) hospitals, rural referral centers (RRCs), and sole community hospitals (SCHs) rose from $1 million in December (when only eight manufacturers had restrictions) to $2.2 million in March (by which time the number of manufacturers had risen to 14). Two more manufacturers have imposed conditions since then. Ten percent of such hospitals said they expect annual losses of $21 million or more.
