Pharmacy 340B ProgramThe 340B Drug Discount Program was established in 1992 under the Federal Public Health Services Act. The Act requires drug manufacturers to provide outpatient drugs to eligible health care organizations and covered entities at significantly reduced prices. The program passes along savings from reduced drug prices to covered entities to allow them to stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible, reaching more eligible patients and providing additional needed services. TOUCH has been registered as a covered entity with HRSA since 2018. In this capacity, eligible TOUCH clients may enroll in this program at a participating pharmacy that has an agreement with TOUCH. Designated prescriptions are filled by registered pharmacies on behalf of TOUCH clients. The Pharmacy then sends detailed reconciliation information about each clients prescriptions to TOUCH on a monthly basis along with the associated revenue to cover these drugs. In turn, TOUCH, verifies the information, pays the associated drug company(ies), monitors adherence to the prescribed medications and provides additional services to people living with HIV.
