In 1992, Section 340B of the Public Health Service Act was enacted. Section 340B requires drug manufacturers to provide outpatient drugs to entities like Betances Health Center at a reduced price. In combination with our partnering pharmacies, Madison Drugs and Elm Drugs, these savings of about 40% on brand name drugs are passed on to Betances’ patients who are eligible.
