340B Program Update:
New Research and Webinar Opportunity
The 340B Drug Pricing Program continues to be part of national discussions surrounding healthcare affordability, program integrity, and access to care.
For many rural hospitals and healthcare providers, 340B plays an important role in helping offset uncompensated care costs and supporting services that might otherwise be difficult to sustain in rural communities. As policymakers and stakeholders examine the future of the program, new research and policy discussions are emerging.
Two recent resources may be of interest to rural healthcare leaders and organizations:
