Two options in meeting program guidelines:
Separate physical inventories
Virtual inventory management using split billing software
Requirements to avoid diversion of 340B product:
Retrospective replenishment program
NDC to NDC match (no substitution)
Reports/subject to audit
Split Billing Software
Implementation plan is required
Interface of billing and pharmacy systems
Drug product selection
Setup and maintenance of NDC to CDM crosswalk
P&Ps for staff
Routine reports/audits
Added costs for software & staffing (optional)
