										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="https://ejfhc.org/services/pharmacy/how-340b-supports-health-center-patients/" data-wpel-link="internal">How 340B Supports Health Center Patients</a> ,<a href="https://ejfhc.org" data-wpel-link="internal">East Jordan Family Health Center</a><h4><strong><em>Health centers are a tiny part of the total 340B program – accounting for only 6% of national 340B sales.  But 340B is critical to health centers’ ability to provide affordable drugs &amp; other services to underserved individuals</em></strong><strong><em>.</em></strong></h4>
<p>By lowering how much they must pay for pharmaceuticals, <strong>340B enables health centers (FQHCs) to:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Make drugs affordable for their low-income uninsured and underinsured patients, and</li>
<li>Support other key services that expand access to their medically vulnerable patients.</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Why is 340B so critical to health centers?</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li>As small, community-based organizations, health centers lack the market power to negotiate discounts off the sticker price.</li>
<li>Prior to 340B, most health centers were unable to offer affordable pharmaceuticals to their patients.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How does 340B expand access and generate savings for health centers and their patients?  </strong>Say the regular price for a drug is $100, and the 340B price is $70.  The health center or its contract pharmacy dispense two bottles of the drug – one to an uninsured patient for whom the sliding fee copay is $20, and the second to a patient with private insurance that reimburses the drug’s regular price.</p>
<div id="attachment_508464" style="width: 672px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-508464" class="wp-image-508464 size-full" title="340B Graphic" src="https://ejfhc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/graphic_onepager.png" alt="340B graphic showing impact" width="662" height="192" srcset="https://ejfhc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/graphic_onepager.png 662w, https://ejfhc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/graphic_onepager-480x139.png 480w" sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 662px, 100vw" /><p id="caption-attachment-508464" class="wp-caption-text">How 340B impacts the Health Center</p></div>
<h4><strong><em>How are 340B Prices Calculated?</em></strong></h4>
<p><em>A drug’s 340B price is its Average Manufacturer Price (AMP) less:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><em>Mandatory discount: </em></strong><em>23% for brand-names &amp; 13% for generics, </em></li>
<li><strong><em>Inflation Penalty (if applicable):</em></strong><em> If the manufacturer increases the drug’s sticker price faster than inflation, an additional discount is required.  If the price rises fast enough, the total discounts can exceed the AMP.  In this case, the 340B price is one penny.  </em></li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>How do health centers use the savings generated by 340B? </strong></h4>
<ul>
<li>Health centers invest every penny of 340B savings into activities that expand access to their medically-underserved patients. This is required by Federal law [1], Federal regulations [2] &#8212; and the health center mission.</li>
<li>Each health center’s patient-run Board decides how to best invest its 340B savings.
<ul>
<li>First, they offset losses on drugs for sliding fee patients (e.g., the $50 loss above.)</li>
<li>Remaining savings are used for services that could not otherwise be funded. Common examples include expanded SUD treatment, clinical pharmacy programs, and adult dental services.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="https://ejfhc.org/services/pharmacy/springtime-allergies/" data-wpel-link="internal">Springtime Allergies?</a> ,<a href="https://ejfhc.org" data-wpel-link="internal">East Jordan Family Health Center</a><p class="wp-block-paragraph">Springtime is right around the corner (thankfully!), but with the change of seasons comes dust, pollen, and other environmental allergens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Two common brand name medications to use for seasonal allergies are Zyrtec (cetirizine) and Claritin (loratadine) and are typically prescribed to treat symptoms of hay fever and upper respiratory tract allergies. Both drugs are antihistamines that temporarily relieve sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes. Antihistamines work by reducing the production of a chemical called histamine in the body. Histamine is a substance that is responsible for causing symptoms when the body detects contact with an allergen.&nbsp; These drugs are non-habit forming and can be discontinued when allergy symptoms are resolved.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although both Zyrtec and Claritin belong to an identical drug class, they have differences in the time of onset and in their side-effects profile.&nbsp; Zyrtec has a quick onset of action with relief usually felt within 1 hour.&nbsp; Claritin has a much slower onset of action than Zyrtec, usually 3 hours, and causes less sedation.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These over-the-counter allergy medications do not need a prescription and you can get them from your local pharmacy. Both Zyrtec and Claritin are also available in a generic form. Though these medications have an excellent safety history, it is always best to consult with your doctor before starting new medications.</p>The post <a href="https://ejfhc.org/services/pharmacy/springtime-allergies/" data-wpel-link="internal">Springtime Allergies?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://ejfhc.org" data-wpel-link="internal">East Jordan Family Health Center</a>.]]></content:encoded>
