 NFPRHA Releases New Guide on 340B and Medicaid
NFPRHA is pleased to share a new guide (PDF) for NFPRHA members on the 340B Drug Pricing program. The guide discusses key elements of the 340B program, and focuses specifically on the intersection between 340B and Medicaid.
Title X-funded health centers are eligible to participate in the 340B Drug Pricing program. Health centers receiving 318 STD grants from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are also eligible. Once registered as a 340B covered entity, health centers will have access to significantly discounted drugs and devices. However, it is important for covered entities to fully understand the compliance responsiblities associated with participating in the program. The new guide is designed specifically to assist family planning providers in their 340B compliance efforts.
If you have any questions about the 340B program, please visit the 340B page on NFPRHA's website or contact Mindy McGrath, a NFPRHA Policy Director, at mmcgrath@nfprha.org or 202-293-3114 ext. 206.
