Savings from the 340B Community Benefits Program help our Nebraska hospitals provide more comprehensive care for underserved patients. To participate, hospitals must meet certain eligibility criteria, including being designated as a nonprofit or public entity and serving a disproportionate number of low-income patients. The program is paid for with drug discounts; no state or federal tax dollars are utilized. The 340B Community Benefits Program allows urban and rural hospitals to support important community health needs.
Benefits include:
Pharmaceutical Discounts
Improved Patient Access
Community Health Impact
Without 340B savings, rural hospitals and clinics have to scale back or eliminate services. Ask your senator to support LB 168.
