Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a 340B pharmacy near me?

340B pharmacies are located at or affiliated with eligible healthcare facilities, including federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), disproportionate share hospitals, and Ryan White clinics. Contact your local community health center to ask about 340B pricing.

Do I need to be uninsured to benefit from 340B?

No, 340B pricing is based on the healthcare facility, not your insurance status. Patients of any insurance type who receive care at a 340B-covered entity may benefit from lower drug prices or expanded services.

What is the difference between 340B and a patient assistance program?

340B is a federal program that requires manufacturers to sell drugs at discounted prices to eligible facilities. PAPs are voluntary manufacturer programs that provide free or low-cost drugs directly to qualifying patients. Both can help reduce medication costs.
