- What type of pharmacy does IHTC have?
The IHTC is a 501(c)3 public charity, multidisciplinary evaluation, treatment and research facility that provides specialized healthcare services and education to persons with bleeding and thrombotic disorders. It is Indiana's only federally recognized hemophilia treatment center (HTC).
Also referred to as the PHS (Public Health Service) Program, the 340B Drug Pricing Program is a federal discount program available to HTCs and other covered entities. Congress established the 340B Program as part of the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992 so that HTCs and other covered entities could utilize the excess revenues generated to provide more services to more patients. The 340B Program allows IHTC to purchase clotting factor at a discount for its patients.
A portion of the savings generated from the purchase of 340B discounted drugs are passed on to the patient and payor, which could lead to significant savings beyond what national pharmacy providers and pharmacy benefit management (PBM) companies can do for each individual.
