The 340B Pharmacy Program and the HTC
- Credits: 0.5 (ANCC)

The 340B Pharmacy Program and the HTC Details
Special Note
Before completing this module, you may want to complete the PartnersPRN online learning activity titled U.S. Hemophilia Treatment Center Network: The Big Picture or if its no longer available on the site, contact Partners partners@ihtc.org for a copy of the PDF slides.
Activity Number and Title
24HT00069 The 340B Pharmacy Program and the HTC
Release Date
January 10, 2024
Expiration Date
5:00 PM Eastern, January 9, 2026
The estimated time to complete this enduring material is 30 minutes.
Purpose Statement
The purpose of this module is to examine the 340B Pharmacy Program, its role in homecare of hemophilia, eligibility and enrollment, restrictions and requirements, and special considerations for operation of such a program.
As designated in The Veterans Health Care Act of 1992 designated federally-recognized and federally-funded Hemophilia Diagnostic and Treatment Centers (HTCs) as covered entities eligible to participate in the 340B Drug Pricing Program. HTCs were henceforth able to utilize the 340B Program to stretch federal grant funding and develop capacity to provide robust, comprehensive services to all patients served. In 2015 federal grants divided among 140+ HTCs in the U.S. totaled only $4.9 million from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) (to be used for services not covered by insurance) and an additional $5 million from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (earmarked for surveillance and research).1 Thus, in this era of fiscal constraint brought on by budget cuts and the effects of federal sequestration, HTC participation in the 340B Pharmacy Program has provided a critical means of financial support for HTC services enabling provision of comprehensive care for all patients seen at HTCs with these programs. Approximately 100 of the 140 HTCs participate in the 340B Pharmacy Program.2 As a condition of participation, these centers must invest all revenues from the program back into patient services, care coordination, research and other programs that directly benefit patients.
Activity Description
This module will provide a brief history of?the 340B Pharmacy Program established in 1992 under the Veterans Healthcare Act and the role of these programs in lowering costs of care and providing revenue for the HTC which must be reinvested into programs and services provided directly to HTC patients. For those HTCs in consideration of starting a 340B Pharmacy Program, this module also introduces the Office of Pharmacy Affairs requirements and regulations for such a program, including definitions of key terms and information about the application process, program maintenance, and potential program audits. Finally, this module will recommend the Hemophilia Alliance as a resource for HTCs with 340B Pharmacy Programs as well as those who are interested in learning more about the operation and management of such programs at HTCs.?
Target Audience
This accredited continuing education activity is designed for nurses, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and other healthcare professionals in the U.S. Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) Network who wish to learn more about establishing and/or managing a 340B Pharmacy Program and the role of these programs in the U.S. HTC Network.
Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, the participants should be better able to:
- Explain homecare provision and the role of the 340B Pharmacy Program
- Summarize the importance of Section 340B of the Veterans Health Care Act
- Describe 340B Pharmacy Program eligibility and enrollment
- Identify restrictions and requirements to operate a 340B Pharmacy Program
- Discuss special considerations of operating a 340B Pharmacy Program at a federally-recognized U.S. Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC).
