Tonia PoteatGUEST
I do think that HIV care models in the U.S., which hopefully will survive this administration, have been really good models.
Tonia PoteatGUEST
There's a health resource program I think it's Health Resources and Services Administration has an HIV bureau that really does sort of what we would call now implementation science research and then immediately starts funding clinics to implement those if they're shown to be effective.
Tonia PoteatGUEST
So those are models that we can follow for how to tighten that gap between research findings and implementation in the clinics.
Catherine GlassHOST
Brilliant.
Mike ChristelHOST
Yeah.
Mike ChristelHOST
Uh, you mentioned the, just the growth of it, right? I was reading that, uh, 340B-covered entities, they, they, they put a number out there recently, um, purchased $100 billion in outpatient drugs in 20, uh, 25, accord- uh, according to data from the HRSA.
Mike ChristelHOST
Um, where is that, where is that growth concentrated at, do you think?
Jesse MendelsonGUEST
So it, it, it depends who you ask.

Jesse MendelsonGUEST
In most cases, and Lilly did that, you know, Lilly, Lilly tried that and, and with a lot of manufacturers that I work, that often works, and you have to get to the point of cutting them off.
Jesse MendelsonGUEST
What Lilly is saying, though, is for certain facilities, they've tried all that, and these facilities are purposely think they have the right and legal ground to not submit claims according to Lilly's 340B policy.
Jesse MendelsonGUEST
And Lilly, after trying lots of things, there was the letter they sent to HRSA early in the year saying, "We tried this.
Jesse MendelsonGUEST
We've tried that.
Megan JerniganGUEST
sort of moved forward with it in their own ways.
Megan JerniganGUEST
And so trying to understand what was happening with key offices within the CDC or key offices within HRSA or SAMHSA during a time where there's this broader restructuring and you don't have the visibility you need, that made it really hard for states to plan, to plan budgets, to plan strategies, to plan staffing, and to allocate resources at need.
Megan JerniganGUEST
And so just that lack of transparency and visibility into federal action, combined with the pace of change, I think those have been some of the biggest challenges.
Megan JerniganGUEST
And then just sort of layer on top of that, In Washington state, we have a structural budget crisis at the state level.
Austin PetersonHOST
But I mean, who's going to do the rulemaking on this one? Is Congress supposed to write a rule, or are we just going to watch these corporations govern a federal program through ultimatum?
Liz MairGUEST
So actually, HRSA, so part of HHS, they actually have the ability to tell the drug makers, no, you're not doing this.
Liz MairGUEST
So that is certainly a choice.
Liz MairGUEST
And I would say that one thing that has been very inconvenient for the drug makers is that the person that we have in charge of HHS, RFK Jr., whatever one may think of him, He is not somebody who is inclined to just take arguments that are made by pharmaceutical companies at face value without like really, really scrutinizing them.
Liz MairGUEST
So I do think that this is something that HRSA probably should take a look at.
Liz MairGUEST
It is worth noting, though, that Congress usually has and I think at the moment still continues to have a sort of bipartisan i believe they call them the sort of gang of six it's always a gang of something right and they are looking at what could potentially be done within this program to address some of the concerns that have been raised i mean i think as with anything any particular set of player circumstances you look at in life you're never going to find that that particular set is 100 good right like you're never going to have 100 of people who are doing a plus And so there might be some things that people potentially could look at there, but one of the things that really should be off limits is anything that compromises patient privacy.
Liz MairGUEST
And I think the other thing that is very important to bear in mind here too, is that some of the hospital groups that are pushing back on this, they're not doing it so much from the patient privacy perspective, perhaps they should be.
Liz MairGUEST
of a different things, but this is this is just not a great plan.
Emily JohnsonGUEST
like I'm genuinely thinking that this will be helpful for you.
Emily JohnsonGUEST
So I'm providing you this resource, which I think if you were armed with the knowledge about some of the maternal health specific tools that are out there now, like the HRSA hotline and the PSI stuff, I think that would feel different because that's clearly for your situation and getting you closer to experts who can help.
Emily JohnsonGUEST
Totally.
Emily JohnsonGUEST
Totally.
Travis LefevreGUEST
I've seen it in action one other place.
Travis LefevreGUEST
But surrounding me and our executive team with... with past CEOs of health centers and health systems, health plans, and folks from CMS, folks from HRSA who had unbelievable careers, right? Like federal government employee of the year, you know, Dr.
Travis LefevreGUEST
McGann, for example, he and his team, just unbelievable insight and input and mentoring Not just in the technical side of kind of health care and their particular domain expertise, but just mentoring and what I can expect.
Travis LefevreGUEST
It's almost I don't know if you like river rafting, but it is.
Greg WilsonHOST
We're seeing...
Greg WilsonHOST
HRSA audit notices go out here in the first week of September.
Greg WilsonHOST

Rob NahoopiiHOST
Yeah.
Rob NahoopiiHOST
Well, I've been telling people, hey, just be aware in the next couple of weeks, we should start seeing HRSA audits.
Rob NahoopiiHOST
And sure enough, one of our auditors reported today, some old reports, yeah, got her first audit letter.
Rob NahoopiiHOST
I was like, it's September 1st.
Stephanie HaridopolosGUEST
We had every HHS principal in presence there and were in lockstep.
Stephanie HaridopolosGUEST
They were Dr. Oz, Secretary Kennedy, Dr. Bhattacharya, NIH director, as well as Alex Adams and Administrator Angles of HRSA, all coming and saying, this is an issue.
Stephanie HaridopolosGUEST
Thank you for bringing it to the attention.
Stephanie HaridopolosGUEST
We're not going to work in silos.
Jackie FryGUEST
So really everything across the board in healthcare.
Jackie FryGUEST
But what we're really seeing is, um, perhaps they may have a HERSA audit or an OCR audit coming up, um, a legal issue.
Jackie FryGUEST
You know, something that, you know, is audit related or compliance related is truly what's bringing them to Zenzap.
John LinHOST
Mm-hmm.
Ryan McDonaldGUEST
That is something that everybody should know and should use freely if they have any concerns at all.
Ryan McDonaldGUEST
There's also a phone number that you can reach through the Health Resources and Services Administration that's 24 hours a day, seven days a week and free.

It's a confidential mental health hotline.
