Activity Overview 

The 340B drug pricing program provides savings to health systems or hospitals that provide care for uninsured and low-income patients.  Savings from this program are a critical resource that enables a variety of community benefits, including vaccination, medication management, and other health programs. Administrators, often pharmacy leadership, at covered entities oversee the program. It is important for pharmacists at the direct patient care level to understand the broad impact of this program on the health care system and the implications of legislative and regulatory actions related to the program.
