Emily Cook discusses hospitals' fight to preserve 340B drug discount eligibility with Modern Healthcare

In a recent Modern Healthcare article, Emily Cook discusses why more hospitals are at risk of losing 340B eligibility as Medicaid coverage declines. Emily notes this is a situation many hospitals are facing, as shrinking Medicaid volumes threaten their ability to clear 340B’s eligibility thresholds — a trend she expects to accelerate. She also shared that some hospitals are considering adding back inpatient psychiatry and obstetric services, which many had previously cut due to low margins, due to the often-high Medicaid patient volume for such services that may increase opportunities to remain eligible for the 340B program.
