In the final installment of a two-part series on prescription drug prices, during this edition of Monitor Mondays we will report on the latest initiative on a new “war on drugs” – the anticipated rollout by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of a new secure website that hospitals, clinics, and health centers can use to see what price they should be paying for any drug covered under the 340B federal drug program. Reporting on this development will be Maureen Testoni, Esq., president and CEO for 340B Health.
