340B Program
Apovia's capabilities...
align with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) goal of the 340B Drug Pricing Program, which is to enable Covered Entities such as Federally Qualified Healthcare Clinics (FQHCs) the ability to stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible, reaching more patients and providing more comprehensive services.

Apovia manages in-clinic pharmacy operations that provide both clinical and pharmacy prescription fulfilment services to numerous Federally Qualified Healthcare Clinics (FQHCs). Apovia's pharmacies provide retail and specialty pharmacy services to these FQHCs that serve over 150,000 under-served patients. Apovia's extraordinary FQHC pharmacy experience can be leveraged to support a clinic’s ability to stay compliant with the 340B pharmacy regulations as one way to maintain the benefits afforded by the 340B pharmacy program.
Apovia 340B pharmacy capabilities are unique compared to other pharmacies because our pharmacists have experience working with covered entity patients’ doctors and nurses. Working closely with doctors and nurses has allowed our pharmacists to gain insight into the unique needs of the patients Apovia serves. Apovia also functions as a strategic partner with its Covered Entity customers by collaborating on data analysis to identify new 340B pharmacy services revenue streams and marshaling synergistic partnerships with local area health plans and FQHCs. Apovia has a proven track record of enhancing revenues to help the FQHCs to expand their service capabilities in order to better serve their patients.
