These recommendations will help ensure that savings flow directly to patients, preserve access to community and safety-net pharmacies, and strengthen programs like 340B that sustain care for vulnerable populations. Oregon’s leadership in advancing practical, patient-focused solutions can serve as a model for other states seeking to balance affordability with access and innovation. Thank you for the opportunity to comment and for your ongoing leadership on behalf of Oregon patients. We look forward to supporting the Board’s work as these recommendations move forward to the legislature.

Comment to HRSA on enrollment and re-certification of entities in the 340B drug pricing program

Sep 5, 2025

The HIV+Hepatitis Policy Institute submits this comment in support of HRSA’s proposed documentation and registration updates for Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) grantees and subgrantees participating in the 340B Drug Pricing Program. STI clinics are a key setting for HIV testing and prevention services, including PrEP and PEP, as well as for testing and treatment for viral hepatitis, especially hepatitis C. As longstanding advocates for the 340B program, we believe strong oversight and clear documentation are critical to preserving its integrity and ensuring it continues to serve its core mission: supporting safety net providers and expanding access to care for low-income and underserved populations, including people with or at risk of HIV and hepatitis.
