Subject:Cardinal Health Pharmacy Services, LLC Purchase Order Amendment
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Health System contract for 340B (federal-ceiling pricing for disproportionate share facilities) for ambulatory care.
The Cardinal Health contract allows CCRMC to purchase medications and related supplies at the best price through
Novation contract.
Furthermore, the Health Plan uses Cardinal Health as their source to provide medications for their patients through
the 340B program via contract pharmacies. Having Cardinal as our wholesaler maximizes the cost savings for the
CCRMC and Clinics. The request for additional funds is to cover invoices through August 31, 2015 to avoid
exceeding the current blanket amount.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, the Hospital Pharmacy, as well as all Ambulatory Care Pharmacies within the
CCRMC, will not be able to receive drugs from our wholesaler and the result would be a much higher cost of
pharmaceuticals.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
