Pharmacy and 340B

AzHHA advocates for policies that ensure patients have access to affordable medications and maintain the viability of hospital pharmacy services.

We support a robust 340B program with transparent rules, fair and nondiscriminatory reimbursement and contract pharmacy options that enhance access, particularly in rural and underserved communities. We promote practical compliance, including simple claim identifiers, reasonable audits with notice and a chance to address issues, and secure data exchange that prevents duplicate discounts while protecting privacy.

We oppose manufacturer restrictions on 340B dispensing, PBM or payer cuts and fees targeting 340B, mandatory white or brown bagging that jeopardizes safe care, and retroactive claw-backs or confusing audits.

Our goal is to ensure safe and reliable access to medication for patients and to establish a pharmacy infrastructure that supports care throughout Arizona.
