Show Notes
Federal officials propose shifting the three forty B drug pricing program, which benefits safety net hospitals and clinics, to a rebate model. This change, pushed by drug makers, would require providers to pay full price upfront and chase rebates later, potentially adding significant administrative work and cash flow challenges. In New Mexico, this shift could impact major healthcare providers like Presbyterian and University of New Mexico Hospital, as well as federally funded health centers and rural spots. Providers express concerns about higher costs and potential strain on services for underserved patients. The agency is seeking more input through a request for information to carefully consider the rebate model.
