Compliance look-out
• Are dispensations in 340B tracking software (GPO and 340B) tested routinely for:– Drug conversion accuracy– Dosage compared to medical chart– Location of patient at time of dispense– Posting of ALL purchases– NDC matching
![Page 38: 7 th Annual GHA Compliance Officers Retreat September 3 – 5, 2014 Reynolds Plantation Greensboro, Georgia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649cac5503460f9496e3ec/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
NDC matching
![Page 39: 7 th Annual GHA Compliance Officers Retreat September 3 – 5, 2014 Reynolds Plantation Greensboro, Georgia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649cac5503460f9496e3ec/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
NDC tracking requirements
• Drugs purchased to replace stock used on 340B eligible patients must bear the same National Drug Code (NDC) 11-digit match as the one dispensed.
• Exceptions are very limited and can be replenished only in cases where only a 9 digit match is available.
• This NDC-to-NDC match is difficult and sometimes impossible to achieve.
![Page 40: 7 th Annual GHA Compliance Officers Retreat September 3 – 5, 2014 Reynolds Plantation Greensboro, Georgia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649cac5503460f9496e3ec/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Multiple NDCsDrug – ABC is purchased using two NDCs.
• NDC 1• NDC 2

How do I know which NDC was given to patient? Since we
don’t use bar codes, I will have to use one NDC as the proxy.
![Page 41: 7 th Annual GHA Compliance Officers Retreat September 3 – 5, 2014 Reynolds Plantation Greensboro, Georgia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649cac5503460f9496e3ec/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Primary NDC
Primary NDC – most common 340B purchase
Less common versions of same drug - Secondary NDC ASecondary NDC BSecondary NDC C
Dispensations flow to accumulator with this NDC for 340B replenishment
Actual NDCs will not flow to accumulator until designated as the primary. Cannot be replenished under 340B until shows up in accumulator.
![Page 42: 7 th Annual GHA Compliance Officers Retreat September 3 – 5, 2014 Reynolds Plantation Greensboro, Georgia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649cac5503460f9496e3ec/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Compliance look-out
• How often are primary NDCs revised?– Dispense “feed” to accumulator– Charge “feed” to accumulator
• Are only “exact” 11-digit matches used in replenishment, or are “substitutions” used?
• How often are 340B/GPO replenishments tested for support?
