Webinar Details
Compliance is the foundation of a successful 340B program and, rightfully so, is the primary focus for most 340B covered entities. Often, this focus consumes most available staff and resources, leaving terms like optimization and augmentation not only feeling nebulous and out of reach, but also as though focusing on optimization compromises or puts compliant processes at risk. What many don’t realize is that compliance and optimization are not opposing forces, but rather companions that work in asymbiotic relationship; you can indeed have a compliant 340B program and ensure you are capturing all potential savings available to you!
When a 340B program is operating as it should, it is more likely to be operating compliantly and in a manner that optimizes savings to the organization. Conveniently, much of the information that is used to assess compliance of a 340B program can be used to identify missed opportunities, making it even easier to have your cake and eat it too. Commonly over–looked opportunities that may be buried in compliance analyses include improper wholesaler pricing, NDC and/or CDM mapping, drug waste management, and retail pharmacy prescription capture.Join us to walk through some examples of the opportunities we’ve uncovered for entities like you!
