| by Susan Sumrell

We wanted to let you know about an upcoming webinar with HRSA’s Office of Pharmacy Affairs on the annual 340B Recertification Process.  Please see the details of the webinar below.   Should you have any questions about the webinar or the recertification process, you can contact the Prime Vendor Program at 1-888-340-2787 or ApexusAnswers@340bpvp.com.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA) is required to recertify all participating Comprehensive Health Centers enrolled in the 340B Program annually to ensure all Comprehensive Health Centers are appropriately listed on the 340B database and that all Comprehensive Health Centers remain compliant with the 340B Program requirements.  To help covered entities with recertification the OPA will hold a webinar on January 7th, 2015 at 2 PM EST. Please see the detail information regarding the webinar below:

In addition to the webinar, OPA suggests the following steps to ensure a smooth recertification:

  • Visit the 340B Program database and verify that your Comprehensive Health Centers information is correct and that the listed sites remain eligible to participate in 340B.  It is the covered entities responsibility to keep its 340B database record up-to-date, this includes contract pharmacies.  The database record should reflect the Comprehensive Health Centers current information.  If your entity’s record is incorrect, please update it prior to the recertification process by submitting a change request form to OPA by following this link to the 340B Program change form. Questions regarding registration, change requests, or recertification may be directed to the 340B Prime Vendor Program at 1-888-340-2787, or by sending an e-mail to ApexusAnswers@340bpvp.com.
