Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Health Economics
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • The US 340B Drug Pricing Program offers drug discounts to eligible hospitals to enhance financial stability and patient access.
  • It remains unclear if hospitals utilize these savings to subsidize care for low-income or uninsured populations as intended.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess if the 340B program correlates with improved access to hospital services.
  • To determine if this association differs based on hospital ownership (public vs. nonprofit).

Main Methods:

  • A difference-in-differences and cohort analysis was conducted using data from 2010-2019.
  • The study included general, acute, nonfederal hospitals in the US, merging American Hospital Association data with hospital characteristics.
  • New hospital enrollments in the 340B program between 2012-2018 were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Public hospitals newly participating in the 340B program showed a significant increase in unprofitable service lines (e.g., substance use, psychiatric services).
  • Nonprofit hospitals demonstrated no significant association with changes in service offerings, except for a marginal increase in oncologic services.
  • Participating hospitals were more likely to be critical access, teaching, rural, and located in Medicaid expansion states.

Conclusions:

  • Public hospitals appear to use 340B savings to expand access to essential, often unprofitable, services.
  • Nonprofit hospitals' responses to the 340B program regarding service offerings were minimal.
  • The heterogeneous impact of the 340B program based on hospital ownership warrants consideration in policy evaluations and eligibility criteria.
