There’s a lot of misinformation out there. Get the facts
-
Myth340B was intended to deliver discounted drugs directly to patients.
Fact340B was created to allow safety-net providers to buy outpatient medicines for less. They use the savings to stretch resources so they can provide a variety of services, drugs, and better care to patients who can’t always pay.
-
Myth
340B uses taxpayer money.
Fact340B is not funded by taxpayers. Instead, drug companies sell drugs to providers at discounted prices, allowing them to stretch their existing funding even further. A government agency, the Office of Pharmacy Affairs, receives a small congressional appropriation to administer the program.
-
Myth
Too many providers qualify for 340B.
FactBoth Republicans and Democrats have expanded 340B to cover those parts of the safety net people need most. For example, the most recent expansion added small rural hospitals with 25 or fewer beds that guarantee access to care in some of the most remote parts of our country.
