Manufacturer restrictions and 340B Validate

Support better patient outcomes and reduce the chance of manufacturer audits

Born out of recent changes in the industry, the rise of duplicate discounts has led several manufacturers to restrict access to 340B pricing. 340B Validate is a win-win for both covered entities and manufacturers.

Who should use 340B Validate and manufacturer solutions?

Manufacturers

Pharmaceutical companies that manufacture and distribute 340B-eligible products.

Contract Pharmacies

These pharmacies enter into an agreement with a covered entity to provide services to the covered entity's patients, including dispensing entity-owned 340B drugs.

Health Systems

According to federal guidelines published by the Health Resources and Services Administration, a hospital that is private and non-profit with a contract with a state or local government to provide health care services to low-income individuals who are not entitled to benefits under Medicare or eligible for State Medicaid, is eligible for the 340B Drug Pricing Program.
