340B Recertification Period
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Office of Pharmacy Affairs is required to recertify all participating covered entities enrolled in the 340B program to ensure covered entities are appropriately listed on the 340B database and are in compliance with 340B program requirements. The recertification period for Title X-funded health centers participating in 340B will run from May 11 to June 8, 2016. A recertification webinar will be held on April 27, 2016. More details to come.
Please note: All covered entities must be recertified by June 8 at midnight PT (June 9 at 3 a.m. ET). Any entities not recertified by the deadline will be removed from the 340B program and would need to reapply for the program. The next open registration period after recertification will be July 1-15, 2016, for an October 1, 2016, start date. Thus, these decertified sites would not have access to any 340B-priced drugs for a minimum of one quarter.
To ensure a smooth recertification, visit the 340B program database and verify that your health center's address is correct and that listed sites are still open and eligible to participate in 340B. It is the 340B covered entities' responsibility to keep their 340B database records up to date. Most importantly, verify that the 340B program contact information for the Authorizing Official and Primary Contact is up to date. The Authorizing Official will be responsible for completing the recertification process online. If your covered entities' Authorizing Official record is incorrect, please update it by submitting an online change request.
