Reg (June 23, 1993) Policy Release: Clarification of use of the Medicaid Exclusion File 12/12/2014 Duplicate Discounts Medicaid Exclusion File (MEF) must be complete and accurate Carve-In = use 340B drugs when billing Medicaid Carve-Out = do not use 340B drugs to bill Medicaid If contract pharmacy uses 340B drugs to bill Medicaid, the CE must make arrangements with contract pharmacy and state Medicaid agency and MUST notify OPA Covered entity must know how they bill Medicaid and how state prevents duplicate discounts Manufacturers Pharmaceutical Pricing Agreement (PPA) Must be signed by a manufacturer as a condition for participating in Medicaid Does not prohibit a manufacturer from charging a price for a covered outpatient drug that is lower than the 340B ceiling price A manufacturer may not condition the offer of 340B discounts upon a covered entity's assurance of compliance with section 340B Program requirements Prevention of Duplicate Discounts 3) the covered entity will comply with all requirements of Section 340B of the Public Health Service Act and any accompanying regulations including, but not limited to, the prohibition against duplicate discounts and diversion (sections 340B(a)(5)(A) and (B) of the Public Health Service Act) Medicaid Exclusion File (Policy Release 12/12/14) The 340B Medicaid Exclusion File is available on HRSA s public website to help 340B covered entities, states and manufacturers avoid duplicate discounts specific to Medicaid Fee- For-Service

4 Medicaid Exclusion File (Policy Release 12/12/14) MEF is a Key HRSA Compliance Component All covered entities are expected to have written policies and procedures pertaining to the prevention of duplicate discounts, and ensure their database listing is consistent with actual practice HRSA encourages 340B covered entities to work with their state to develop strategies to prevent duplicate discounts on drugs reimbursed through MCOs Medicaid Exclusion File (MEF) Regardless of state specific requirements, a covered entity s carve-in or carve-out practice must be consistent with its listing in HRSA s MEF 340B Database Practice Policies and Procedures Program Integrity Guiding Principles: Maximize oversight reach Manage compliance risk Strategy Initial certification Annual recertification Program audits Site Visits Resources Systems Staff Improvements in Program Integrity Processes and protocols Desk audits Training and Education Site visit questionnaire Program integrity analysts Manufacturer audits Things to Know About Audits Types of Audits Responsibility for 340B Program compliance Plan for oversight Policies and procedures compliant with 340B Program requirements Final Report Agreement Disagreement Corrective Action Plan (CAP) # of outpatient facilities # of contract Complexity of pharmacies program Risk- Based Volume of purchases

6 Medicaid pays no more than the 340B ceiling price in one of two ways: Definition of a Duplicate Discount A duplicate discount occurs when the same drug is: Covered entity bills non-340b drug to Medicaid and Medicaid seeks rebate from manufacturer CE Carves-Out OR Covered entity bills 340B drug to Medicaid and Medicaid does not seek rebate from manufacturer CE Carves-In Purchased with an up-front 340B discount AND Credited with a back-end Medicaid Rebate Covered entities are responsible for prevention of duplicate discount. Duplicate discount can occur when Medicaid is primary, secondary or tertiary payor MEF - 340B Drug Pricing Program Notice December 12, 2014 Medicaid Fee For Service and Managed Care - 340B Drug Pricing Program Notice December 12, 2014 All covered entities are expected to have written polices and procedures pertaining to the prevention of duplicate discounts, and ensure their database listing is consistent with actual Practice. While Medicaid drug rebates were previously limited to MFFS drugs, section 2501(c) of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law ) amended the Social Security Act (SSA), extending Medicaid drug rebate eligibility to certain Medicaid manage care to help 340B covered entities, states and manufacturers avoid duplicate discounts specific to MFFS. HRSA provides the 340B Medicaid Exclusion File as the official data source to determine Whether 340B drugs are billed to Medicaid in order to prevent duplicate discounts. Some cases, states may place certain requirements on covered entities regarding the prevention of Duplicate discounts, HRSA encourages 340B covered entities to work with their state to develop Strategies to prevent duplicate discounts on drugs reimbursed through MCO s MEF is a Key HRSA Compliance Component 340B Database Record 340B Database Medicaid Exclusion File (MEF) Practice Will you bill Medicaid for drugs purchased at 340B prices? Regardless of state specific requirements, a covered entity s carve-in or carve-out practice must be consistent with its listing in HRSA s MEF Policies and Procedures 35 36

7 Consider This Statement If your entity bills Medicaid for drugs purchased at 340B prices that may be subject to a payment of a Medicaid rebate to a state, you must answer 'Yes' and submit to OPA the Medicaid Provider Number (MPN) and/or the National Provider Identifier (NPI) which is used to bill Medicaid for outpatient drugs. If you are unsure of your Medicaid Provider Number and/or NPI, please check with your State Medicaid agency. It is important that your Medicaid billing status is accurately reflected in the 340B database Medicaid Exclusion File to prevent Medicaid rebates on drugs that were purchased at 340B prices and to ensure that the state Medicaid Agency has accurate information for those drugs not purchased under the 340B Program. You must notify OPA prior to any change in your Medicaid billing status. For more information, go to: Medicaid Exclusion File/Duplicate Discount Prohibition 1. Upon enrollment in the 340B Program If covered entities decide to bill to Medicaid for drugs purchased under 340B with a Medicaid provider number/npi, then ALL drugs billed to that number must be purchased under 340B and that Medicaid provider number/npi must be listed in the HRSA Medicaid Exclusion File. For covered entities that opt to purchase Medicaid drugs outside of the 340B Program, e.g., carve-out Medicaid prescriptions, ALL drugs billed under that Medicaid provider number/npi must be purchased outside the 340B Program, and that Medicaid provider number/npi should not be listed in the HRSA Medicaid Exclusion File Medicaid Exclusion File/Duplicate Discount Prohibition 2. Report any changes in billing of 340B drugs to Medicaid to the Office of Affairs before implementing the billing change. It is your responsibility as a 340B covered entity to ensure that your information in the HRSA Medicaid Exclusion File is correct. 3. If you cannot comply or want to use alternative methods to prevent duplicate discounts, work with your State Medicaid agency and the Office of Affairs to establish sufficient safeguards. Consider the Following Statement In some regards, it is not the CE 340B ID that carves-in or carves-out, it is the MPN/NPI used by the 340B ID that carves-in or carves-out 340B eligible Medicaid FFS claims If No Answer to 340B Database Medicaid Question Carve-Out Entity Does not bill 340B drugs to Medicaid If Yes Answer to 340B Database Medicaid Question Carve-In Entity Bills 340B drugs to Medicaid. Must list all entity Medicaid and NPI numbers used to bill Medicaid for 340B drugs including multiple state Medicaid numbers if applicable
