While numerous studies have found no association between 340B and safety net care provision for most hospital covered entities, less is known about whether federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), the largest group of covered entities after hospitals, use the program to enhance safety net care.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To assess whether a proxy for 340B revenue was associated with increased safety net care provision among FQHCs.</p><p><strong>Design and setting: </strong>This descriptive, retrospective cohort study examined care provided from 2005 to 2022 by 1468 FQHCs that submitted to the Health Resources and Services Administration Uniform Data System. FQHC and year-level fixed effects were included, as well as a control for differential Medicaid expansion over time. The data were analyzed between March and December 2023.</p><p><strong>Exposure: </strong>One-year lagged number of locations registered to dispense or administer 340B-discounted drugs (registered locations), which included child sites, in-house pharmacies, and contract pharmacies in the 340B Outpatient Pharmacy Affairs Database.</p><p><strong>Main outcomes: </strong>Natural logarithm of patient volume by payer, low-income status, and use of enabling services.
