340B Survival Kit

SNHPA is pleased to announce the release of it's updated 340B Survival Kit. The Survival Kit is a comprehensive resource on the 340B program that contains vital information to help 340B hospitals ensure compliance with 340B laws while maximizing discounts.

Below are links to the available chapters and appendices. In an effort to reduce paper waste, this site is set up so that you can download just the sections you need or simply read the Survival Kit online. If you choose to print the entire Survival Kit, as sections are updated in the future, you will be able to replace just the sections that have been updated rather than the entire document.

Please contact Mike Hess at mike.hess@safetynetrx.org or 202-552-5869 if you have any questions or problems.
