OBBBA’s Ripple Effect and Implications for 340B Eligibility: What 340B Hospitals Need to Know Now

Overview


Medicaid coverage and enrollment will experience big changes under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) program, and many hospitals and health systems may see a drop in Medicaid patient days. These changes could affect their Medicare disproportionate share hospital (DSH) percentage and put their eligibility for the 340B drug pricing program at risk.

Organizations need to understand what these changes will mean to patient mix, how they might impact their DSH percentage, and what steps they can take to protect their 340B status. Early planning and informed decision-making will be key to minimizing disruption and maintaining access to critical resources.

This webinar will:

  • Educate organizations at risk of decreases in Medicaid volume on potential challenges and strategies to maintain DSH eligibility.
  • Address the consequences of losing 340B or DSH status and explore mitigation strategies.
  • Break down the metrics behind DSH rankings and how providers can assess their current status, and outline steps to prevent downgrades or losses.
  • Discuss the broader ripple effects of OBBBA changes on 340B entities and surrounding healthcare organizations.
