PThA3 - Stabilizing and Maximizing Your Pharmacy Program in an Uncertain 340B Environment

Session Description: As the 340B landscape continues to evolve, Community Health Centers face mounting pressures to think creatively in the pharmacy space to meet patient needs. Manufacturer restrictions, the 340B rebate model pilot program, tightening margins, and increasingly complex compliance requirements all pose challenges to financial stability and pharmacy operations. This session will equip CHCs with practical strategies to strengthen their pharmacy programs despite these uncertainties. Presenters will explore how to assess and maximize savings opportunities across contract pharmacies and clinic-administered drugs, strengthen contracts, best practices in working with Third Party Administrators (TPAs), mitigate common compliance risks, and understand the operational implications of various inventory and tracking models. Attendees will gain tools for conducting effective compliance reviews, evaluating drug-specific 340B opportunities, navigating audit risks, and building workflows that support long-term stability and sustainability. By the end of the session, CHCs will be better equipped to optimize their pharmacy programs and safeguard critical revenue streams in a rapidly evolving 340B environment.
