What is the 340b Pricing Program?

Access these websites for more information: Fact Sheet: The 340B Drug Pricing Program and 340B Drug Pricing Program. Access this part of the website and enter the name of your state and city or town, and see a list of contracted 340b pharmacies. If you live in a small town and there are no 340b pharmacies, choose a town in a surrounding area. For those of you who live in metro areas, look at the number of 340b pharmacies available. Then, select 2-3 small rural towns and see if there are any 340b pharmacies there.The point of this is to see where the closest 340b pharmacy is in rural areas and to learn about 340b pharmacies.

Becerra Urging Him to Stop Six Drug Companies That Are Denying 340B Discounts and HHS Moves to nix 340B insulin, EpiPen Discount Rule, Cites Health Center Burden to read the information regarding infighting between Big Pharma and hospitals over 340b pricing.
