TIP: Entities using third-party administrators (TPAs) should understand system functionality and strengthen oversight with regular audits to reduce compliance risks.
As the 340B program becomes more complex, many covered entities (CEs) rely on TPAs to manage essential operations. However, using a TPA for critical compliance responsibilities demands active oversight above mere delegation. CEs should have a thorough understanding of their TPA settings to ensure that they accurately reflect the organization’s 340B policies and procedures—an essential component of program compliance. This responsibility extends beyond core configuration settings to include any value-added services provided by the TPA. Rather than letting configurations passively run in the background after initial implementation, entities should conduct routine audits to validate alignment, identify compliance issues early, and reinforce internal oversight efforts. Active engagement with TPA settings is critical in safeguarding 340B program integrity.
In response to the need for stronger TPA management, the Apexus Advanced 340B Operations Certificate Program has developed an exclusive tool: the TPA Maintenance Toolkit, available soon to all program enrollees and 340B ACEs via the Operations Certificate Exclusive Tools course in the Apexus Education Portal. Designed by 340B experts, this resource helps bridge the gap between policy and practice with practical prompts that make complex oversight more manageable. It’s one of many tools available exclusively through the program—alongside a stakeholder contact log, a product mapping aid, and others. These tools are designed to simplify your role, support compliance, and help you confidently lead 340B operations.
Enroll in the certificate program today to advance your 340B knowledge and unlock practical, exclusive tools that help you lead 340B operations confidently.
