Discount Pharmacy
Our pharmacy services are specifically designed to cater to uninsured patients who do not have access to affordable medications at retail pharmacies.

340b Overview
​
Congress enacted the 340B Drug Pricing Program in 1992 to lower drug costs for safety-net providers that serve the nation’s most vulnerable patient populations. Congress intended the 340B Program to help these providers “stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible, reaching more eligible patients and providing more comprehensive services.”
​
Under the program, which is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Office of Pharmacy Affairs, pharmaceutical manufacturers are required to extend discounts on covered outpatient drugs to eligible providers as a condition of participating in the Medicaid and Medicare Part B markets.
​
The 340B Program is a discount program that operates at a marginal administrative cost, and reduces federal, state, and local health care spending by supporting providers that deliver necessary care to underserved populations.
