PART IV

Part IV of this webinar series will be devoted solely to addressing the application of the Sliding Fee Discount Program to 340B drugs.  In particular, participants will explore the intricacies of developing and implementing a Sliding Fee Discount Schedule for both in-house pharmacies and contract pharmacy arrangements, as well as the latest HRSA approaches.

Series Description

One of the main tenets of the Health Center Program is the assurance provided by each health center to its target population and community that no patient will be denied health care services due to an individual's or family’s inability to pay for such services. Design, development and implementation of an effective Sliding Fee Discount Program (SFDP) is vital to meeting this core requirement. However, the recent introduction into health centers’ scopes of more complex services and treatments and the expansion of elements required by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) have led to a greater degree of difficulty in establishing a SFDP that is reasonable, operative and compliant, while achieving the goals of minimizing financial barriers and ensuring access to care.

This series of four (4) ninety (90) minute webinars will introduce participants to the basic elements of all SFDPs and will provide targeted advice and tips on the application of the SFDP to complicated situations and multi-faceted services.  

Target Audience

  • Health center executive staff
  • Financial leadership and staff, including billing and collection staff
  • Administrative / operations staff
  • Compliance officers
  • Pharmacy/340B staff

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the application of the Sliding Fee Discount Program (SFDP) in the context of drugs and contract pharmacies;
  • Identify compliance risks related to implementing a SFDP in a contract pharmacy setting; and
  • Analyze whether the health center’s policies related to the SFDP and pharmacy meet current Federal requirements.
