Unveiling UW Medicine's 340B Impact

In this podcast episode, we are joined by Ted Slafsky, Publisher and CEO of the 340B Report and Founder & Principal of Wexford Solutions LLC.

During our discussion, Ted highlights ongoing federal court decisions and updates listeners on states like Arkansas and Louisiana, where laws restoring 340B pricing have faced legal challenges but are making progress. We also cover a recent and pressing topic - the "Sustain 340B Act," a draft senate bill addressing various aspects of the program, including contract pharmacy restrictions and patient definition. Additionally, Ted discusses the significance of Senator John Thune's involvement in the bill, and how changes in Senate leadership have the potential to impact the program's future.

Optimizing a mixed-use program, particularly in the complex landscape of 340B, requires a strategic approach. To ensure compliance, maximize savings, and streamline operations, there are a few key components to consider.
In this episode, we talk with Austin Shady, Senior Director of Client Success at Pillr Health. After earning a Master's in Health Services Administration from Xavier, Austin began his 340B journey in 2016 as a Coordinator. At Pillr Health, he manages mixed-use accounts and shares valuable insights with his clients.

As a 340B covered entity, a top priority is to provide safe and cost-effective care while ensuring regulatory compliance. Having the most up-to-date industry knowledge and best practices to positively impact 340B program management and optimization is important to provide the best care to those you serve.
