How it Works
From 340B to 340Better
In 1992, Congress introduced the 340B Drug Pricing Program, compelling manufacturers in the Medicaid program to offer discounted prescription drug prices to eligible health care facilities, known as covered entities. TACHC, a pioneer in developing pharmacy programs for community health centers since 1987, created 340Better, a 340B pharmacy program. Its mission is to reduce medication costs for health centers, patients, and pharmacies alike.
340Better Distribution
TACHC partners with Cardinal Health for distribution on the 340Better pharmacy program. Each health center has a Cardinal Health account for web-based ordering.
Cardinal Health's vast national distribution network ensures equal cost of goods and delivery schedule to every health center regardless of their size or location, including in-house pharmacies, dispensaries, contracted retail pharmacies and other arrangements.
