New 340B Health Reports Confirms the Program’s Size—But Double-Dips on Hospitals’ Community Benefit Obligations

340B Health, which lobbies for hospitals that participate in the 340B Drug Pricing Program, recently issued an eye-opening member survey. It found that 340B Health’s member hospitals reported total 340B discounts of $15.3 billion. (Details below.)

Hmm. That’s pretty darn close to our estimate of $14.9 billion, shown in 340B Program Purchases Reach $24.3 Billion—7%+ of the Pharma Market—As Hospitals’ Charity Care Flatlines. It looks like 340B Health has perhaps inadvertently validated our computations of the program’s size.
