The Hospital Accountability Project (HAP) is a dedicated initiative aimed at addressing the significant challenges within the 340B drug pricing program, which was originally designed to provide affordable medications to vulnerable populations. Over time, this federal safety-net program has evolved into a $100 billion industry plagued by lack of transparency and accountability. HAP strives to expose the loopholes that allow hospitals to profit disproportionately while diminishing patient benefits.

By advocating for reforms that enhance transparency and enforce strict eligibility criteria, HAP works to ensure that the savings intended for low-income and uninsured patients are actually utilized to expand their access to healthcare. Their mission includes addressing issues such as excessive hospital markups, the misapplication of rural classifications, and the absence of required public reporting on 340B benefits. The organization’s goal is to hold hospitals accountable for their financial practices, ultimately protecting patients and ensuring that federal resources serve the communities they were designed to help. HAP is committed to driving essential changes in healthcare policy for a fairer future.
