An FQHC executive panel shares the\u00a0challenges of in-house pharmacies and their\u00a0reaction to a hybrid model<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Nearly all FQHCS benefit from 340B, a federal discount drug program in which participating drug\u00a0manufacturers provide outpatient drugs to safety net providers at a significant discount.<\/p>\n

The majority of FQHCs participate in 340B by contracting with retail pharmacies in a\u00a0\u2018contract model.\u2019 While this is the easiest and most frequently used approach to 340B, its\u00a0limitations include lower revenues and less coordinated patient care compared to an inhouse\u00a0pharmacy owned and operated by the health center.<\/p>\n

So why don\u2019t more FQHCs have in-house pharmacies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The answers to this question emerged in a recent\u00a0roundtable of eight California FQHC executives\u00a0attending the California Primary Care Association\u2019s\u00a0CFO Conference in May 2019. We’ve\u00a0served the interests of FQHCs since our\u00a0founding in 2006 and decided to convene the group so that FQHC\u00a0executives could probe the 340B program, share\u00a0experiences and best practices, and explore the issues\u00a0regarding its successful implementation, compliance\u00a0and operations. Roundtable participants included six\u00a0FQHC CFOs, a COO, and a Revenue Cycle Director,\u00a0and the COO of PharMedQuest, a provider of turnkey\u00a0340B pharmacy services for FQHCs.<\/p>\n
