  • Final Report Ventura County Medical Center 340B Drug Pricing Program
    Ventura County Grand Jury 2017 - 2018 Final Report Ventura County Medical Center 340B Drug Pricing Program April 26, 2018 This page intentionally blank Ventura County 2017 – 2018 Grand Jury Final Report Ventura County Medical Center 340B Drug Pricing Program Summary The 2017-2018 Ventura County Grand Jury (Grand Jury) opened an investigation after receiving a complaint about the Ventura County Medical Center’s (VCMC) 340B Drug Pricing Program (340B program). The 340B program requires pharmaceutical companies to provide prescription drugs at significant discounts to hospitals and clinics serving large numbers of low-income patients. In July 2015 an audit of VCMC was conducted by the federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The audit discovered that VCMC received duplicate discounts on medications in the 340B program. A total of 107 pharmaceutical companies were affected by the duplicate discount billing. The total duplicate discounts were in excess of $3 million. The Grand Jury concluded there was inadequate oversight of the VCMC 340B program prior to the HRSA audit. This resulted in VCMC being required to reimburse pharmaceutical companies at least $861,000 and potentially as much as $1.6 million. The Grand Jury concluded while VCMC conducts its own in-house audits of the 340B program, more critical audits should be conducted by an independent outside party. The Grand Jury recommends VCMC consider bringing in outside resources with extensive 340B program experience to assist in the supervision of a corrective action plan. The Grand Jury also recommends VCMC request the Ventura County Auditor-Controller conduct regular compliance audits of the 340B program.
