DATABASE ENHANCEMENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Office of Pharmacy Affairs will use this space to announce enhancements to
the 340B database as they occur. If you have a suggestion for how we can
further improve the database, please submit via the link above.
01/1/2009 – rearranged Grant/Provider number and Entity Type fields in
the record view.
4/24/2008 – added online registration for FP covered entities.
2/20/2008 – added Start Date and Termination Date columns to the
"Children Entities" and "Other Related Entities" displays.
EXISTING DATABASE FEATURES
MEDICAID PROVIDER INFORMATION – users may go to the Covered Entity tab
and find a sub-tab labeled “Medicaid Provider Number Search” (
http://opanet.hrsa.gov/opa/CE/CEMedicaidExtract.aspx)
that will list Medicaid Pharmacy Provider Numbers for all covered entities
within a specified State that have indicated to OPA that they are billing
Medicaid for drugs purchased at 340B prices. In addition, the database now
accepts multiple Medicaid Pharmacy Provider numbers for each covered entity and
NPI numbers.
Medicaid Exclusion Tutorial – gives guidance to the covered entities
for what needs to be included in the Medicaid Provider Number Field.
DOWNLOAD FEATURE – users have the option of selecting specific database
fields to download for covered entity information. Go to the Covered Entity tab
and under the “Output Type” select “Report File.” An additional menu will open
up. If the user selects “Customized Fields,” you will be able to select the
specific fields you want to be downloaded in an Excel spreadsheet format. For
those organizations with a need for the old Legacy Report that is no longer
available, a similar report is obtained if you go to the Covered Entity tab
(Covered Entity Data Extract screen), under Output Type select the Report File
option, select Customized Fields, and do NOT select the button labeled "Include
Billing, Shipping and Contract Pharmacy information in Enhanced Download."
