Programs described in its return (1)
- $3.3 million spent. 340B Reform for Community Health Centers:The 340B Drug Pricing Program is a game changer for FQHCs, which have limited flexible funding streams at their disposal and often use their 340B savings for services that are non-reimbursable. The 340B Drug Discount Program is in critical danger and must be protected to serve the more than 32 million community health center patients at stake. Advocacy for 340B reform was a major focus of ACHs policy and advocacy work in 2024.- 340B Reform White Paper- Special Report: The Critical Role of 340B at FQHCs- Statement on HRSAs Letter to J&J on 340B Model Proposal- Position on the Latest 340B Policy & ReformCHC Funding:In addition to more than three years of consistent advocacy on Capitol Hill, ACH delivered a letter from more than 550 national, state, and local health care organizations representing 50 states and U.S. territories that urges Congress to increase funding for community health centers (CHCs) through the Community Health Center Fund reauthorization. ACH continued to advocate for immediate and long-term funding throughout the year.- CHC Funding Sign-On Letter- Year-End Package Letter- Statement on Disaster Supplemental for Health CentersValue-Based Care:The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a new voluntary primary care model: the Making Care Primary (MCP) Model. This 10.5-year model has the potential to result in significant cost savings for all community health centers across the network. It culminates over a year of nationwide discussions between the CMS Innovation Center, ACH, and stakeholders. ACH was pivotal in integrating health-related social needs and behavioral health into primary care.
