Form 1 340BRegistration-Covered Entities - Community Health Cen

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE 340B REGISTRATION FORM

For use by any site registering as a Community Health Center or Federally Qualified Health Center Lookalike. Specific eligibility requirements are posted on the OPA website.

An organization eligible to participate in the 340B Program must complete the registration process in order to purchase and use 340B drugs for its eligible patients. This registration must be completed and submitted according to the established deadlines that are published on the OPA website. The registration process is not complete unless all necessary supporting documentation is submitted on the same day to OPA. Once the Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA) receives an entity’s registration and verifies that the organization is eligible, the entity may purchase 340B drugs beginning on the entity’s participating start date listed on the 340B database.

The entity should ensure that all information is current and accurate on the 340B database record. It is the covered entity’s responsibility to notify OPA of any changes by submitting an official 340B Program change request.

NOTE ON SHIPPING ADDRESSES – complete this section ONLY if your covered entity’s 340B drugs will be shipped to an address that is different from the covered entity address. Covered entities should be aware that listing a location as a shipping address does not make that location eligible to use 340B drugs for any individuals treated there. However, do NOT use this section to provide information for a contract pharmacy arrangement. Please refer to the OPA website for instructions on registering a contract pharmacy.

Once your registration has been processed, OPA will notify you (at the e-mail address that you provide) of your covered entity’s 340B Program participation start date and provide you with your 340B identification number, a unique number that OPA assigns to each covered entity. Please use this number in all correspondence to OPA. 340B identification numbers will be used by manufacturers, wholesalers, and others to search the OPA database to verify your participation in the 340B Program. It is the entity's responsibility to notify its wholesaler or manufacturer that it is registered for 340B prices when it places an order.
