Best Practices for Legal Oversight of 340B Programs in Turbulent Times

Emily J. Cook, Partner, McDermott Will & Schulte, and Kelsey Bagheri, Principal Counsel, UCSF Health, discuss how covered entities and their legal counsel can navigate the current legal and compliance risks associated with the 340B program. They cover recent developments in the 340B program, top 340B compliance myths, the role of pharmacies in 340B oversight, how covered entities can ensure that 340B risks are understood across the entire organization, issues related to vendor arrangements and manufacturer inquiries, and how in-house counsel can make the greatest impact.
