A recent report from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) reviewed 350 organ transplant cases managed by Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, and found one hundred cases had what they called "concerning features." In some cases, donors were still showing neurological signs, indicating the organ procurement process began for patients before they were officially declared deceased. The report led to shocking headlines, a congressional hearing, and many Americans questioning whether they could trust our country's organ donation system. Recently on the FOX News Rundown, the chief of the Health Resources and Services Administration's organ transplant branch, Dr. Raymond Lynch, joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the alarming report, the process of organ transplants, and what they're doing to ensure that they're done properly. Dr. Lynch discussed what went wrong in the cases where the transplant process began too early, but also emphasized how well the system works generally and how it's vital to saving lives. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

Big potential changes to how 340B operates plus heightened interest in both new protections and new restrictions for covered entities means there is much to keep track of in the 340B world. 340B Health CEO Maureen Testoni joins us to make sense of recent developments in the nation's courts and beyond.Rebates Get Their Day in Court340B Health, two member hospitals, and the government met drug companies in court in late April to challenge drugmaker attempts to replace 340B discounts with rebates. Testoni says the judge cited potentially devastating consequences to hospitals if rebates proceeded but also had probing questions for the government on how it is working to address drugmaker compliance concerns. The Dept. of Health and Human Services is set to release guidance by early June on the rebate issue, and the court's decision could come out soon.The White House Proposes 340B Big Oversight Shift A leaked copy of the Trump administration's latest budget proposal includes a plan to move the Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA) from the Health Resources & Services Administration to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Testoni says the oversight shift is concerning because of a stark difference between the purpose of 340B and the operations of Medicare and Medicaid. CMS also imposed years of Medicare payment cuts to 340B hospitals that the U.S. Supreme Court eventually overturned.340B Protections, Mandates Take Center StageStates continue enacting laws to protect hospital access to 340B pricing, but they also are moving forward with reporting mandates and proposals to define how hospitals should use their savings. Testoni said reporting and use-of-savings mandates lead to misdirected views on the purpose of 340B, which goes far beyond direct patient care and cost assistance. On Capitol Hill, a report from a long-running investigation of 340B recently came out, contributing to the debate over possible new restrictions.ResourcesFederal Government Signals Upcoming Guidance on 340B Rebate Models Amid Legal ChallengesBrief Your Leaders on White House Plans for Major 340B ChangesNebraska Is 12th State To Enact Contract Pharmacy ProtectionsIndiana Becomes Fifth State To Mandate 340B Reports From HospitalsKey Senator Concludes 340B Investigation, Calls for Major ReformsNew 340B Health Research340B Impact Profiles

Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault stunningly affect one in three women globally. Thankfully, there are efforts to increase awareness and bring an end to those issues in our society.Jane Randel, Co-Founder of No More at NoMore.Org, joined me to discuss it.AND, this week is Poison Prevention Week. Every year millions of Americans are exposed to poison.....more than ¾ of them are unintentionally. I discussed it with Dr. Sara Kinsman, Director of the Division of Child, Adolescent and Family Health in the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration
In what has become an annual tradition for the podcast, we consulted with 340B Health's expert staff to answer our listeners' most pressing 340B questions. As an uncertain and busy year starts for the world of 340B, we want to prepare you by covering your queries about the efforts by drug companies to impose 340B rebates, proposed federal and state legislation on 340B, how Inflation Reduction Act implementation will affect 340B, and more.340B Rebate Lawsuits Heat UpSo far, five drug companies have sued the Health Resources & Services Administration to challenge HRSA's rejections of their backend rebate proposals. 340B Health Vice President of Legal and Policy Amanda Nagrotsky notes that a rebate model would harm 340B hospitals through delayed access to 340B savings and potentially denials of legitimate rebate claims based on drugmaker interpretations of 340B rules. We recorded this episode just before 340B Health filed a motion to intervene as a defendant in the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) rebate lawsuit against HRSA.Lawmakers Eye Ways To Protect or Cut 340BThe new year means a new Congress and the start of new state legislative sessions. 340B Health Senior Vice President of Government Relations Tom O'Donnell notes that members of Congress have floated potential reductions in what the federal government pays for 340B drugs to help fund new spending priorities outside of health care, though it is unclear how seriously they are considering those options. 340B Health Vice President of Legal and Policy Greg Doggett reports that several states are considering new contract pharmacy or payment nondiscrimination protections for 340B hospitals, but others have introduced proposed new mandates for covered entities. Price Caps Will Apply to More Medicare DrugsThe list of drugs eligible for Medicare price caps will grow to 25 starting in 2027 under the Inflation Reduction Act, which will have implications for 340B savings on those drugs. 340B Health Research and Policy Analytics Manager Claudia Escue notes that popular weight loss and diabetes drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy have made the price cap list because of how much they cost Medicare. 340B Health is tracking how these price caps might lower 340B savings and have submitted letters to Medicare officials to represent other hospital concerns about the implementation of the IRA.Resources:340B Health Files Motion To Intervene in J&J Rebate LawsuitOption To Cut Commercial Pay Rates for 340B Drugs Is on Draft Congressional Budget “Menu”Medicare Expands List of Drugs Subject to Price Caps, Decreased 340B Savings340B Coalition Winter Conference Registration
Congress is another step closer to finalizing a year-end spending package to keep the government operating, and the plan includes some significant healthcare related spending. The Health Resources and Services Administration demands the French drugmaker Sanofi abandon its controversial 340B credit model. And, fewer children are being vaccinated against the flu. We'll get those stories—and more—coming up on today's episode of the Gist Healthcare podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Earlier this year, the Health Resources & Services Administration took a strong stance against drug giant Johnson & Johnson's plan for a proposed 340B rebate model, but the fight over rebates is far from over. 340B Health President and CEO Maureen Testoni joins us to discuss how the company is taking the issue to federal court and how they are not the only drugmaker doing so.J&J Sues HRSA Over RebatesJ&J is arguing in court that HRSA lacks the authority to block a 340B rebate model. Such a model would allow individual drug companies effectively to impose their own rules on 340B drug purchases. These rules would curtail the number of drugs a company would offer a 340B discount on and reduce the number of patients that would be deemed 340B-eligible.Other Drugmakers Pushing RebatesBristol Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly also sued HRSA, claiming the agency does not have the authority to stop a rebate model. Sanofi has not yet filed suit but is saying it will impose its rebate scheme in early January. The Sanofi model raises significant concerns not just because of the imminent effective date but because it would impose far more stringent restrictions on 340B eligibility than HRSA ever has.State Contract Pharmacy Laws Rack Up More WinsIn another 340B issue before the federal courts, state contract pharmacy protections continue obtaining key litigation wins. Several district courts and one appeals court have upheld state laws designed to protect covered entity access to 340B pricing through community and specialty contract pharmacies.Resources:Brief Your Leadership on Drugmaker Rebate SchemesThe Wall Street Journal: “The Economic Imperative of Protecting 340B”Register for the 340B Coalition Winter Conference

The Health Resources & Services Administration audits 200 covered entities each year for compliance with 340B rules. We speak with Mark Capuano, senior director of the corporate pharmacy 340B program at New York City Health and Hospitals, about what hospitals should expect when they find out they will be going through a 340B audit.How a hospital can prepare for a 340B auditAuditors typically will ask to schedule a pre-site visit call and will provide a data request list for the information the auditor is seeking. Mark says it is important to provide this information in a timely, accurate and concise way, and to make sure you inform key stakeholders at your organization so you can get the subject matter experts involved. He also recommends doing test runs of the audit ahead of time.What a hospital should expect on the day of an auditOn the day of an audit, the auditor will trace a sample to see how a 340B drug goes from drugmaker to pharmacy to patient. The auditor will assess whether the hospital is following its 340B policies and procedures to make sure the drug went to an eligible patient and does not involve a duplicate discount. Mark says the process can be very stressful but that it also provides an opportunity to reframe the audit to showcase the great work of your hospital.What hospitals should do if they receive audit findingsIf HRSA issues a finding, the hospital must draft and implement a corrective action plan. Mark recommends bringing in legal counsel and 340B consultants to review this document. After HRSA approves the CAP, the hospital will demonstrate to the agency that it is in place to ensure compliance going forward.Check out all of our episodes on the 340B Insight podcast website.

Rural communities in the U.S. are diverse, full of innovation, and each face their own unique health challenges. In this episode, we discuss some less commonly discussed rural health topics with Amy Elizondo, the Chief Strategy Officer for the National Rural Health Association (NRHA). In our conversation we discuss topics such as oral health, the scarcity of dentists in rural areas, behavioral health, substance abuse, and the health concerns of the rural indigenous population Amy highlights some of the amazing work being coordinated through the NRHA to address these health issues in rural communities, both through initiatives and health policy advocacy. Check out the NRHA's Faces of Rural video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXpJ4fXRakU “Rural communities are far more diverse than anyone could ever imagine, truly that is where innovation can happen.” -Amy Elizondo Amy Elizondo serves as the Chief Strategy Officer for the National Rural Health Association (NRHA), a non-profit membership organization with the mission to provide leadership on rural health issues to improve access to care. Ms. Elizondo received a Bachelor of Science in Community Health Education from Texas A&M University in 2000 and a Master of Public Health in Social and Behavioral Health from the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center, School of Rural Public Health in 2002.

Before joining the NRHA, Ms. Elizondo served as the primary analyst for rural health care and post-acute care issues at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services within the United States Department of Health and Human Services. This position afforded her the opportunity to work as a liaison with Congress during the landmark passing of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, also known as the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit. She also completed a fellowship at the Health Resources and Services Administration's Federal Office of Rural Health Policy where she took part in implementing a rural leadership program.
The past several months have seen several major developments in the world of 340B drug pricing. 340B Health President and CEO Maureen Testoni returns to the show to break down some of the most important recent 340B stories.Landmark Federal Court Ruling on Patient DefinitionIn November, a federal court in South Carolina ruled against the Health Resources & Services Administration for an unpublished interpretation of 340B patient definition guidelines the agency had been using in audits of covered entities. Maureen explains the implications of this ruling, which could extend far beyond the long-running dispute between HRSA and community health center Genesis Healthcare.HRSA Notice Officially Limits Use of 340B in New Hospital ClinicsHRSA also released a new notice in October clarifying that new hospital clinics cannot use 340B until they appear on a filed Medicare cost report and are registered – a process that could take up to nearly two years. Maureen describes a transition period for certain hospitals to come into compliance with the policy, continued advocacy for changes to the restrictions, and a new hospital lawsuit over the issue.Repayments Coming for 340B Medicare Payment CutsHospitals affected by unlawful Medicare payment cuts from 2018-2022 are set to receive direct lump-sum payments by early 2024 under a final rule the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued in November. Maureen goes over the repayments and discusses lingering concerns about how CMS is implementing the plan.Check out all of our episodes on the 340B Insight podcast website.

Before the phrase “social drivers of health” was commonly used, Community Health Centers had already developed a model of care that was holistic, grounded in social change and embedded in the community. At this year's HLTH Conference in Las Vegas, I sat down with Dr. Kyu Rhee, the new CEO of the National Association of Community Health Centers. Dr. Rhee brings a fresh perspective to NACHC as a clinician and an immigrant with broad experience in policy, clinical practice and technology.We discuss:What medicine would look like if every doctor was trained in a community health center, not just in fancy hospitals.How CHCs knock quality metrics out of the park while improving equity.One secret to community embeddedness: Every CHC must name patients to at least half of the governing board seats.The new prescriptions to improve health: food and iPads.Kyu reminds us that changing an entire system can't happen overnight, we need patience and passion:“Earlier in my career as a medical director, I was like, “We got to fix this!” And I think I had to learn that there's so many angles on how you see a problem … so that passion of advocating for health equity and the injustices, you have to be thoughtful about allowing that passion to be part of your purpose, but also being patient in the process.”Relevant LinksWebsite for the National Association of Community Health CentersEconomic Impact of Community Health Centre in the United States [PDF]America's Health Centers by the Numbers [PDF]"How the Civil Rights Movement Gave Rise to Community Health Centers" [BLOG]About Our GuestDr. Kyu (“Q”) Rhee, MD, MPP, joined the National Association of Community Health Centers as CEO in 2023.

During the first two years of the pandemic, public school enrollment in the U.S. fell by more than 1.2 million students. While some enrolled in private schools or formal homeschooling programs, others switched to unapproved schools that have little oversight and don't need state permission to grant degrees. Sharon Luyre recently published an investigation into these schools for AP News and joins us to discuss the accusations against these institutions, including inappropriate behavior by teachers and accusations of “diploma buying.” Ochsner Lafayette General Hospital recently received a $1 million dollar grant to combat opioid addiction and abuse in rural communities. The grant, which comes from the Health Resources and Services Administration will be used to pay for preventative programming and educational outreach, among other initiatives.Alena Maschke covers health for the Acadiana Advocate and The Current.

Last week, the government announced plans to completely overhaul the organ transplant system in America. This includes breaking up The United Network for Sharing Organs (UNOS)'s multi-decade monopoly.For those who need an organ transplant, the process is far from easy. On average, 17 people die each day awaiting transplants. More than 100,000 people are currently on the transplant waiting list according to the Health Resources and Services Administration. UNOS has been criticized for exacerbating the organ shortage. An investigation by the Senate Finance Committee released last year found that the organization lost, discarded, and failed to collect thousands of life-saving organs each year.We discuss the government's plan for overhaul and what it means for those whose lives are on the line.Want to support 1A?
