340B Prime Vendor Program

The primary mission of the 340B Prime Vendor Program is to improve access to affordable medications for covered entities and their patients. The program is free and voluntary to facilities that are already 340B eligible.

If you are actively enrolled and/or participating in the 340B Drug Pricing Program (ordering your outpatient medications at 340B Public Health Service pricing), you are entitled to join the 340B Prime Vendor Program at no cost.

The prime vendor program serves participants in 3 primary roles:

• Negotiates sub-ceiling 340B pricing on branded and generic pharmaceuticals
• Establishes distribution solutions and networks that improve access to affordable medications
• Provides other value-added products and services
