May 11-15: CMS webinars are among a slew of online-only events in healthcare finance

August 17, 2021 12:29 am

Upcoming events in healthcare include a deadline for hospitals to respond to a survey on the 340B Drug Pricing Program. The survey has generated controversy over hospital concerns about design flaws and that completing it requires diverting scare resources as they respond to the coronavirus pandemic.

Additionally, a range of industry groups will hold informational webinars, and Congress will start hearings on the COVID-19 pandemic.
