Abstract

The Director's Forum series is edited by Robert J. Weber and Scott M. Mark and is designed to guide pharmacy leaders in establishing patient-centered services in hospitals and health systems. This article focuses on an important program for expanding pharmacy practice models to uninsured and underinsured patients. The 340B program provides assistance to hospitals on drug pricing to allow organizations sufficient additional savings to channel to patients in need. The regulations surrounding eligibility, drug pricing, and pharmacy contracting are complex and can make participating in 340B seem intimidating and unattractive to potentially eligible organizations. By gaining further understanding of the intricacies of the 340B Drug Pricing Program, pharmacists and other health care providers can utilize the program to maximize the benefit for both their patients and their organization.
