American Hospital Association Issues Statement on Potential Payment Model

CHICAGO, Illinois, Oct. 25 -- The American Hospital Association issued the following statement by President and CEO Rick Pollack on a potential new payment model for part B drugs:

America's hospitals and health systems are pleased that President Trump and his administration are focused on reining in out-of-control drug prices, which continue to threaten patient access and the ability of providers to deliver the highest quality of care. We look forward to reviewing the details of the model closely, including its impact on 340B hospitals and the patients they serve.
