Eligible Outpatient Facilities of 340B Hospitals Can Now Bypass Registration Delays
Based on recent interactions Hall Render has had with HRSA Office of Pharmacy Affairs (“OPA”) representatives, hospitals participating in the 340B drug discount program as covered entities (“Covered Entities”) may now be able to consider patients 340B-eligible in new locations of the hospital outside of the four walls of the hospital building even if the new location has not yet appeared as reimbursable on a filed Medicare cost report (“MCR”) and is not yet registered on the 340B Office of Pharmacy Affairs Information System (“OPAIS”).
