The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA) is required to re-certify all participating hospitals enrolled in the 340B Program annually to ensure all hospitals are appropriately listed on the 340B database and that all hospitals remain compliant with the 340B Program requirements. The re-certification period will be August 5th-September 9th, 2015. To help covered entities with recertification the OPA will hold a webinar on July 8th, 2015 at 12 PM EST.

In addition to the webinar, OPA suggests the following steps to ensure a smooth re-certification:
Visit the 340B Program database and verify that your hospital's information is correct and that the listed sites remain eligible to participate in 340B. It is the covered entities responsibility to keep its 340B database record up-to-date, this includes contract pharmacies. The database record should reflect the hospital's current information. If your entity's record is incorrect, please update it prior to the re-certification process by submitting an online change request to OPA. Questions regarding registration, change requests, or re-certification may be directed to the 340B Prime Vendor Program at 1-888-340-2787, or by sending an e-mail to ApexusAnswers@340bpvp.com.
