Overview: The 340B landscape is more complex than ever. Covered entities and their pharmacy partners operate in an environment shaped by manufacturer restrictions, evolving state access laws, active litigation, and new regulatory experiments such as HRSA’s proposed shift to a rebate model. This webinar discusses actionable roadmaps for navigating operational and legal gray areas that demand clear, practical guidance. Speakers will break down national trends in contract pharmacy restrictions and state level 340B access protections, highlight significant litigation—including the rise of False Claims Act theories—and examine HRSA’s ongoing efforts to convert the 340B discount into a rebate framework, with insights drawn directly from publicly submitted comments.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Discuss real world operational strategies that help covered entities strengthen compliance, protect program savings, and maximize participation despite mounting challenges
  • Identify both the legal context and operational tools needed to make informed decisions and support sustainable 340B partnerships
  • Gain clarity around the most complex parts of today’s 340B environment and concrete steps to improve program participation and partnership performance
