MHA staff attended the Regional 340B Roundtable July 8 in Florence, IN to join colleagues from the Indiana Hospital Association, Ohio Hospital Association, Kentucky Hospital Association and endorsed business partner, SunRx to share best practices for successful 340B administration and advocacy. Nearly 150 340B experts gathered from the four states to discuss the impact the program has on their communities, compliance best practices and opportunities to advocate for 340B at the state and federal levels.
Hospital 340B leaders were able to network, share challenges and discuss opportunities. Compliance experts from PYA also offered technical advice and solutions in navigating complex 340B relationships.
Elizabeth Kutter, senior director of government and political affairs at the MHA, joined Ted Slafsky, 340B Report, and Laura Brown, Indiana Hospital Association, for a panel discussion on state 340B legislative and regulatory updates. “Having 340B experts and healthcare leaders tell the story of how important this program is for each community, especially rural and underserved communities, makes a significant difference for protecting the 340B program overall,” said Kutter. “The program is designed to improve access to healthcare for patients, which is why 340B must be safeguarded through legislative efforts.” Protecting 340B remains a priority for the MHA and its covered entity members.
Members with questions about 340B should reach out to Elizabeth Kutter at the MHA. Members interested in learning more about endorsed business partner, SunRx and its offerings, may contact Rob Wood at the MHA.
