Multiple HRSA findings challenge 340B Covered Entity to overhaul program operations

Challenge/Goals

A Covered Entity approached Visante for guidance after receiving numerous findings through a HRSA audit. Visante’s 340B team helped the CE to make significant changes to all aspects program operations, including intensive work with multiple split-billing systems.

Results

After forming a 340B Compliance Committee of Covered Entity stakeholders, forward movement took place over the course of twelve months. This overhaul focused on the foundation of the 340B Program, and all aspects of supply chain/purchasing, billing, reimbursement, contract review and support (contract pharmacy), and split-billing maintenance and oversight. Compliance oversight was structured around the Corrective Action Plan provided to HRSA, and allowed the Covered Entity to forecast resources and tools necessary to maintain full compliance.

340B Covered Entity Overcomes Challenges of Disparate Split-Billing Systems

Cost Savings

Challenge/Goals

Several years had gone by without appropriate oversight for this Covered Entity with a large contract pharmacy network. Visante’s audit uncovered that nearly a third of the registered contract pharmacy locations did not have active dispensations, and several of the contract pharmacies had effective dates on the OPA website in advance of the contract being signed.

Results

In just six months, the Visante team worked with the Covered Entity to make major changes to its contract pharmacy operations and develop a strategy that will set them up for long term success. Specifically: Visante successfully supported an update of the OPA database to remove all locations with minimal to no volume over the course of six months. The team removed a number of contract locations after determining that were multiple barriers that would take several more months or longer to overcome. Visante reviewed e-prescribing data and history to determine where prescriptions were going, and created a contract pharmacy strategy focused around Covered Entity detail that was real and meaningful.
