340B sits at an intersection where federal programs and state agencies come together. Maine, Minnesota, and Washington recently enacted new laws requiring hospitals to report 340B information to the states each year. What should health systems know about these new requirements? We speak with Danny Ackert, the director of state government relations at the Minnesota Hospital Association, to learn more about what these requirements look like in his state and what hospitals might expect in other states considering such reporting.
What Minnesota’s reporting law requires
Danny explains that Minnesota’s new reporting law requires 10 aggregated categories of information that hospitals and other covered entities must submit starting this April. Individual hospitals’ reports will not be made public, but an aggregated report due in November will be made available to the state legislature and the public.
Adjusting to an unprecedented system
Minnesota’s new 340B requirements mandate an entirely new reporting system that the 340B program has not been trained to. These new requirements will affect 340B operations for small and large hospitals alike.
Advocacy advice for hospitals in other states
Danny urges covered entities in other states that might be considering reporting to be speaking up on 340B now. He says talking about 340B can seem complicated because it involves pharmacy benefits, discounts and acquisitions, costs, savings, and more, but it is important for legislators to be educated on how it works.
