Expert Tip: Strengthen Your 340B Program with Regular Internal Audits for Compliance and Savings

TIP: Maximize the effectiveness of your 340B program through consistent internal audits, ensuring both compliance and enhanced savings.

Establishing and running an effective 340B program requires diligent oversight and dedicated compliance management. A key component in achieving success is the regular implementation of internal audits. These audits serve as a proactive measure, ensuring your organization’s adherence to all the necessary regulations and guidelines governing the 340B program. By routinely reviewing your program’s operations, you can promptly identify and address any potential compliance issues, preventing their escalation into more significant problems. This not only helps in avoiding potential fines and penalties but also ensures that your program is operating at its full potential.

In addition to ensuring compliance, internal audits can also help optimize savings within your 340B program. A thorough examination of your purchasing and dispensing practices allows for the identification of opportunities to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. This could include streamlining inventory management, negotiating more favorable pricing with suppliers, or uncovering possibilities to expand the program’s reach to serve more eligible patients. By implementing adjustments based on insights gained from internal audits, you can strengthen the financial sustainability of your 340B program. This also ensures its continued provision of essential services to underserved populations while maintaining compliance with all relevant regulations and guidelines.

Expert Tip: Maximize 340B Savings by Manually Pulling in Rejected and Qualified Claims

Manually pulling in rejected and qualified claims in the TPA database is a critical step in capturing eligible 340B savings that may have been missed due to unmatched prescription data. Claims can fail to match automatically to an EMR (Electronic Medical Record) or ERX (Electronic Prescription) record due to discrepancies in provider documentation, timing issues, or data entry errors. By reviewing and manually adjudicating these claims, covered entities (CEs) can identify encounters that still meet 340B eligibility requirements but were not captured through automated matching. This practice ensures the entity maximizes its 340B benefit while maintaining program compliance.

Furthermore, this manual reconciliation process supports stronger audit preparedness and data integrity. By documenting the rationale for qualifying claims and ensuring proper linkage to eligible encounters, CEs can provide a defensible audit trail. It also helps identify patterns in rejected claims that may point to workflow or system issues, allowing for targeted improvements. Ultimately, consistently reviewing and processing unmatched claims manually helps optimize program performance while upholding the accuracy and accountability essential in 340B operations.
