340B Unscripted

In this episode, Rob and Gren welcome William Mayhood to the Pod and get into the New York Times article on Bon Secours’ 340B program. We shift gears and get into what covered entities should be doing in preparation for a similar media article, or congressional inquiry, and bring back the 340B Impact Statement. You never know, your CE could be next!

In this episode, Greg and Rob are joined by another SpendMend Pharmacy colleague – Riley Protz, who serves as Director of Optimization. They discuss the impact of referral capture opportunities on 340B Program participation and debate the risks of this strategy in comparison with other strategies, like the application of the “continuum of care” in the patient definition.

In Episode 4 of the 340B Unscripted podcast, Greg and Rob bring on Matt Parker, VP of Optimization and Growth at SpendMend AND the maestro behind the scenes of the podcast, to discuss the Inflation Reduction Act and how it impacts 340B. We discuss both the inflation penalty impact starting in 2023 and the negotiated Medicare pricing impact that starts in 2026.

 In this episode, Greg and Rob are joined by SpendMend colleague Jacob Thompson to discuss the future outlook of the 340B Contract Pharmacy Limitations. They review past 340B/CMS litigation that ultimately ended at the Supreme Court. From that review, they predict the path and length of time these limitations are most likely in place. This is a very important topic as CEs navigate if they should submit data to 340B ESP.

In this episode, Greg and Rob are back from Washington, D.C., and are joined by SpendMend colleague Jennifer Hagen to recap highlights from the 2022 Summer 340B Coalition Conference. They dig into lessons learned from various sessions at the conference and chat about HRSA audit trends, operational challenges from recent manufacturer restrictions, as well as “big picture” considerations for 340B covered entities for the remainder of 2022. Also, stick around at the end of the episode to hear sound bytes from SpendMend staff, clients, and friends who gathered together at the conference!
