Forward(Recorded Workshop) 340B Patient Definition Guidelines: How to be Compliant While Meeting Your Patients’ Needs
This recorded workshop is closed to new enrollments. For more trainings on the 340B Drug Discount program, click here.
Since 1996, the Health Resources and Services Administration (“HRSA”) has used one set of standards to describe the factors that determine when a 340B drug may be dispensed to an individual patient, otherwise known as the “Patient Definition Guidelines.”
The one-size-fits-all Guidelines apply to the diverse range of 340B covered entities, but each grant program is likely to have very different relationships with the persons they serve. Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grantees, and others have very specific grant requirements that affect their 340B program. The Patient Definition Guidelines can be difficult to apply in the context of new treatment standards, including telemedicine, specialist referrals, and the development of medical homes and medical case management. Patient ineligibility and 340B drug diversion continue to account for a significant number of 340B audit findings, especially in contract pharmacies.
This focused four-hour training has been developed specifically to target the ins and outs of the Patient Definition Guidelines, including how to address the many “gray areas” that covered entities may encounter. Designed for both 340B “rookies” and “vets,” the training will cover these topics and more:
- Critical elements of the Patient Definition Guidelines
- Relationship between grant requirements and the Patient Definition Guidelines
- The gray areas, such as telemedicine, clinic administered drugs, and patient referrals, and how to address each to maintain compliance
- Documenting patient eligibility – before and after an audit
- Patient eligibility issues in 340B contract pharmacy arrangements
- Avoiding “too good to be true” deals and other pitfalls
- Detecting and addressing instances of non-compliance
Target Audience
- 340B Covered Entity Executive Staff
- Financial Leadership
- Pharmacy and 340B Staff
- Legal and Compliance Teams
Learning Objectives
After this training, you will be able to:
- Understand the basics of the Patient Definition Guidelines and how to document compliance
- Apply the Guidelines in gray or rapidly developing areas
- Identify and avoid risky arrangements
