Nick Nastasi Comments on 340B Legislative Outlook With Healthcare Financial Management Association

Faegre Drinker Consulting manager Nick Nastasi spoke with the Healthcare Financial Management Association to discuss potential changes to the 340B program this year.

Nastasi explained the most likely update to pass Congress this year is a bill that would require 340B reporting by not-for-profit hospitals. “It’s possible that some elements like that might find themselves into an [end-of-the-year] healthcare package,” Nastasi said, noting that the legislation may not advance until next year.

“I’m not saying that 340B is off the table this year,” Nastasi said. “It could very well be, but that’s dependent on what we see happening in November and then moving into the next Congress.”
