340B For Ryan White Grantees The compliance risks associated with building and operating a contract pharmacy program are not insignificant. To protect against diversion and improperly billing Medicaid, covered entities and their contract pharmacies need to develop numerous systems that require expertise and resources from both parties, especially in the areas of patient verification, inventory management, recordkeeping and third party billing. The panel of our contract pharmacy workshop will provide an in-depth overview of the steps involved in starting up and managing a contract pharmacy arrangement, focusing on the dos and don’ts of operationalizing these complex programs. Representatives from the 340B provider community, legal consultants, and contract pharmacies will expand on the topics above and share their own experiences with contract pharmacy arrangements.
