OPA Allows Patients to Use Any Contract Pharmacy Under Same Covered Entity

In a recent decision articulated by Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA), Covered Entities’ patients may now use any one of the in-house and contracted pharmacies that provide services to the parent Covered Entity’s clinics and departments under the 340B Program.  This does not take the place of one to many, as a 1:1 (contract pharmacy to entity site) relationship is STILL required on the OPA database and registration. In order for that requirement to change, a final notice must be published in the Federal Register.  However, if a Parent Covered Entity has 5 clinic sites, they can have up to five pharmacies (in-house and contracted) servicing all of the parent organization patients.  Please contact CaptureRx™ at 1-888-345-6424 to learn more about this process.  To contact OPA and the Pharmacy Services Support Center (PSSC), please visit, http://pssc.aphanet.org.
