About the 340B Drug Pricing Program
The 340B Drug Pricing Program is a federal program
that requires drug manufacturers to provide
outpatient drugs to eligible health care centers,
clinics, and hospitals (termed “covered entities”)
at a reduced price. This requirement is described in
Section 340B of the Public Health Service Act, which
was enacted in 1992 to provide financial relief to
those facilities that provide care to the medically
underserved.
For more information about the 340B Drug Pricing
Program and to view a list of eligible entities,
