Our 340B Pharmacy Program

We participate in the 340B Pharmacy Program through our on-site pharmacies to offer patients affordable and accessible healthcare solutions.

Committed to Solutions

At Bluestem Health, we are committed to providing comprehensive healthcare solutions that prioritize affordability and accessibility for all our patients. One key component of this commitment is our participation in the 340B Pharmacy Program, which enables us to offer significant savings on prescription medications through our on-site pharmacies located at our Kreshel and Health 360 clinics. 

What is the 340B Pharmacy Program?

The 340B drug pricing program, established by Congress in 1992, allows Federally Qualified Health Centers like Bluestem Health to purchase prescription medications at discounted prices negotiated with drug companies. 

These savings can amount to as much as 50% off the usual price of medications. The program’s primary goal is to reach more eligible patients and provide them with affordable medications.

Our Pharmacy Offers:

  • A full service
  • Pharmacy team that integrates with our Bluestem Health staff
  • Pre-filled pill organizer 
  • Delivery/mail options
  • Prior authorization

Benefits of Bluestem Health’s 340B Pharmacy

Our participation in the 340B Pharmacy program enhances our ability to serve our community in several impactful ways:

1. Affordable Medications

The discounts obtained through the 340B program significantly lower the costs of medications for our patients, ensuring they can adhere to their treatment plans without financial hardship.

2. Support for all Populations

As a Federally Qualified Health Center, Bluestem Health serves a diverse patient population, including many who are uninsured or underinsured. The savings from the 340B Pharmacy program allow us to continue providing essential healthcare services to these individuals, promoting better health outcomes and reducing healthcare disparities in our community.

3. Integration with Comprehensive Care

Our on-site pharmacies, operating under the 340B program, are fully integrated with our healthcare services. This integration ensures that our pharmacists work closely with our medical providers and care teams to coordinate care effectively. This not only improves patient convenience but also enhances the quality of care.

4. Expanded Access and Convenience

In addition to our on-site pharmacies, Bluestem Health has partnered with leading providers like CVS, Kohll’s Pharmacy, Genoa Pharmacy, Walgreens, and Walmart. These collaborations allow us to extend our reach and provide multiple points of access for patients to conveniently obtain their medications. 

Better Service, Better Outcomes

The 340B Pharmacy program at Bluestem Health helps us show our commitment to making healthcare affordable and accessible for everyone in the Lincoln area and surrounding communities. With the help of 340B Pharmacy, we can continue to expand our services, support underserved populations, and improve health outcomes across our community.
