Hospitals Face $150K-$500K+ Costs in 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program

Hospitals are bracing for significant operational costs due to the 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program. Estimates from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) have been exceeded, with hospitals anticipating expenses ranging from $150,000 to over $500,000 per hospital. Delays and denials in rebate payments could exacerbate these costs, placing additional financial strain on hospitals. The American Hospital Association (AHA), while not providing the exact figures, has been vocal about the potential negative impacts of the rebate model on hospitals. The wide range in anticipated costs reflects the varying sizes and needs of hospitals participating in the program. The 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program's operational costs are higher than initially estimated, with hospitals preparing for substantial expenses. The potential for further increases due to payment delays and denials underscores the need for clear communication and prompt action from the relevant authorities.
