Unintended Consequences: How the Affordable Care Act Helped Grow the 340B Program
Aug 30, 2024

The 340B Drug Discount Program

An IQVIA study of the 340B Drug Discount Program examined the program's scale by comparing the number of 340B patients and the revenue from 340B drug discounts to the number of vulnerable individuals. In 2021, 25.9% of healthcare users were 340B patients, with 2.1 to 3.6 times more 340B patients than vulnerable individuals, depending on Medicaid inclusion. This ratio increased for patients using certain Medicare-negotiated drugs. From 2013 to 2021, while the vulnerable population nearly halved, 340B revenue grew by 374%, partly due to the Affordable Care Act, leading to a misalignment between 340B revenue and the size of the vulnerable population.
