Congress established the 340B program in 1992 to help non-profit hospitals fill-in the significant revenue gaps inherent to their business models. What the bill’s supporters did not foresee, and what very few eligible health systems realize — even today — is that 340B can function as the central hub of a multi-point program. One that … Read More
Below is a graphic overview of VytlOne’s integrated approach to optimizing a health system’s pharmacy services, savings and revenue. In 340B support alone, we’ve generated over $500 million for the hospitals we serve — revenue those systems have used to positively impact the quality and scope of patient care they offer, in countless ways.

It’s no secret that the 340B Drug Pricing Program has been a lifeline for eligible health systems, enabling them to fill-in the massive revenue gaps inherent to the non-profit-hospital business model (and, in the process, support their mission of providing quality care to our nation’s most vulnerable patients) through access to discounted prescription refills.

Based on our experience, it’s a claim we can make with 100% certainty. VytlOne has supported the 340B programs of more than 100 health systems and health centers since 2019. Altogether, we’ve generated nearly $1 billion in pharmacy-related savings for our clients. While the average 340B hospital’s revenues have decreased significantly since the 2020 advent … Read More
In late 2022, VytlOne’s team initiated 340B Program-Management support for a 198-bed, full-service, community and regional non-profit medical center located in the Northeast. After weeks of laying all the necessary groundwork to manage its 340B program, we began actively submitting eligible prescriptions this past January. By the end of Q1, the hospital’s 2023 340B savings … Read More
Why 340B vendors charging Percentage Of Revenue is wrong. From time to time, 340B hospitals are required to purchase non-eligible prescriptions at the Wholesale Acquisition Cost. When that happens, the costs of those medications often exceed reimbursement. Most 340B hospitals already operate on a loss-basis. Which is why, we believe, it’s so wrong for 340B … Read More
To date, we’ve published a dozen posts either detailing, or mentioning-in-passing, the clinical and financial benefits a well-run Meds To Beds program offers hospitals and the patients they serve. Which is why we thought it was time to report some of the personal benefits our program delivers — with a handful of stories we’ve heard … Read More
In the past week, no less than three articles have called attention to the restrictions drug manufacturers have imposed to evade their legal responsibility to honor 340B program prescription discounts — as well as the impact those restrictions have had on 340B-eligible nonprofit entities’ ability to serve their patients and communities. “Don’t believe drug companies: … Read More
Since the advent of 340B ESP in 2020, drug manufacturers have imposed a raft of unlawful restrictions on 340B program savings. Nowhere have those restrictions been more punitive than with specialty pharmacy medications; drugs which typically represent the most expensive (and profitable) in manufacturers’ product lines. 340B restrictions from the drug manufacturers’ perspective That said, … Read More

We’ve generated more than $500 million in 340B Savings and Revenue. And yet, we’ve never served (or seen) a 340B health system with … Read More
