The 340B Drug Pricing Program: Leveraging to Build Clinical Pharmacy Services


Member Price:
$40.00
Nonmember Price:
$65.00

This accredited continuing pharmacy education activity is designed to help pharmacists develop the knowledge and skills necessary to understand the 340B Drug Pricing Program which requires manufacturers to provide outpatient drugs to eligible health care organizations at discounted prices. This allows these organizations, also referred to as covered entities, to generate savings through reduced medication expenses and invest in programs that expand and enhance health services for patients and community members. These savings can be used to lower medication costs for patients; however, they also can be used to support patient care services that may not be otherwise be financially sustainable.  This session will provide foundational knowledge of the 340B Drug Pricing Program and then dive into two examples of how clinical pharmacy services were developed and sustained using 340B Program revenue.

Note of disclaimer: This program activity is also a part of the CMM Academy core or elective programming. If you are already a part of that Academy, purchasing this product would result in duplicate access to this program.
