Safety net providers play a crucial role in providing affordable health care services to underserved populations. The 340B Drug Pricing Program is a valuable program that enables hospitals to stretch scarce resources and improve patient access to medications. However, the 340B Program is currently facing numerous challenges, including regulating changes, restrictions imposed by manufacturers, and complex compliance requirements. Navigating these challenges can be daunting for organizations participating in the 340B Program.

Additionally, we will cover recent 340B Program developments, give an outlook on the future of the 340B Program, and discuss utilizing provider-based status to optimize the program.
