the state your hospital is located in and any out-of-state Medicaid agencies your hospital plans to bill for 340B drugs). All
numbers you plan to use to bill Medicaid fee-for-service should be provided and may include the billing provider’s national

Do not list a state for which the covered entity will not bill Medicaid fee-for-service for drugs purchased at 340B prices.
HRSA exports the Medicaid billing information listed in this site’s 340B OPAIS record to generate the quarterly Medicaid
exclusion file (MEF). HRSA requires the information on the MEF be accurate and complete for every registered site in the
340B OPAIS, and that covered entities follow any additional state Medicaid requirements in order to prevent duplicate
discounts.
While this site may request a change to its 340B OPAIS record at any time, the Medicaid fee-for service billing practice at
this site, must match the quarterly MEF.
