Findings Show Intended Growth for On-site Community Health Center Pharmacies
AMARILLO, Texas, May 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The already complex process of managing 340B pharmacies has become even more challenging for Community Health Centers (CHCs) with 16 drug manufacturers restricting discounts to contracted pharmacies, including some extending to federal grantees, and a widening shortage of pharmacy staff. The federal 340B drug discount program allows CHCs, among other safety net providers, to realize savings on drug costs from mandated discounts from manufacturers. The 340B program has experienced seismic changes in the past two years as manufacturers increasingly restrict access to the discounts and clarity on the legality of the restrictions remains tied up in courts.
CHCs’ 340B pain points are highlighted in a new report released today by Maxor 340B, an industry leader in pharmacy management and comprehensive 340B solutions. The report, titled “The State of Community Health Center Pharmacies Today,” is based on an independent survey of CHC leaders that are actively involved in managing their organization’s 340B programs.
Healthcare consultancy Sage Growth Partners conducted the survey to look at pharmacy-related challenges, needs, preferences and plans of CHCs. The report reveals what CHCs want from their 340B pharmacy partners, as well as their preferred vendor characteristics.
“This survey confirms that managing pharmacies and 340B programs has become even more complex and challenging in the past few years, due to the impact of the pandemic, changing compliance requirements, and uncertainty over participation by drug manufacturers. CHCs may increasingly look to outside partners to help them manage this complexity,” said Mike Ellis, CEO of Maxor National Pharmacy Services. “CHC’s are seeking comprehensive solutions, good service, easy to use technology, transparent and innovative fee structures, compliance expertise, and excellent overall value.”
“Our research shows that those who can offer a transparent and responsive partnership to help CHC leaders simplify 340B programs will have the upper hand going forward,” said Dan D’Orazio, CEO, Sage Growth Partners.
Highlights from the survey include:
The survey, which was conducted in the first quarter of 2022, gathered responses from 75 key leaders, influencers and decision-makers in CHC 340B programs. Their characteristics included:
