340B Program
What is the 340B Program?
The program was developed to help safety-net healthcare providers like True Health stretch scarce financial resources to reach more financially vulnerable patients and deliver comprehensive healthcare services.
How does the 340B program impact our local community and our True Health patients?
The program enables True Health to provide medications to eligible patients at affordable prices. The program also supports all True Health centers to be able to provide affordable access to healthcare services.
History
The 340B Program was created in 1992 as part of the Public Health Service Act and is administered under the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) by the Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA).
Current Issues Surrounding 340B
The program is in need of legislative protection to ensure that centers like True Health can maintain operations, grow to reach as many patients as possible, and continue to evolve to provide the best care possible. We need the voices of our communities to assist us in advocating to ensure we do not lose necessary access to the program.
