Specialty Pharmacies and the 340B Drug Pricing Program

PFSP Specialty Pharmacy participates in the 340B Drug Pricing Program, a government program that provides quality healthcare to eligible health care organizations and patients at reduced prices. Under the 340B Program, PFSP is a contract pharmacy affiliated with a 340B covered entity & is allowed to dispense discounted medication based on eligibility. The reduced drug costs allow for the covered entities to reach more eligible patients.

Specialty pharmacies like PFSP serve patients with complex and often chronic conditions. Specialty medications come with strict protocols for drug handling and adherence and specialty pharmacies want to ensure continuous and uninterrupted access for their patients to receive the lifesaving medications they provide.

Prior to dispensing 340B drugs, contract pharmacies must register for the 340B Program and be listed as active on the 340B OPAIS. 340B Program requirements must be met and covered entities are responsible for ensuring that compliance.

Audit Requirements

For a specialty pharmacy to maintain ongoing compliance, covered entities must provide oversight of the contract pharmacy, maintain records for auditing purposes, and conduct annual audits, which are performed by an independent auditing firm. All violations are reported to ensure compliance is maintained.
