Chart Packs

Improving patient health is the primary goal of patient care and better access to treatments not only improves overall health outcomes but can also provide a source of savings to the healthcare system. By reducing spending on other non-drug medical expenses, medicines help prevent the worsening of underlying disease, reduce the burden on caregivers and, improve workforce productivity.

The 340B program was originally created in 1992 to help safety-net facilities, like clinics and hospitals, that serve a large number of vulnerable or uninsured patients. The program requires pharmaceutical manufacturers to provide steep discounts to these facilities as a condition of their medicines being covered by Medicaid. Today, however, the 340B program bears little resemblance to what Congress envisioned.

The VA offers a narrower drug benefit and serves a smaller population than Medicare and Medicaid. Many veterans use other coverage for their medicines rather than rely exclusively on VA coverage.
