Are employees of a covered entity eligible to receive 340B drugs?

Covered entities may only distribute 340B drugs to their employees that meet Section 340B(a)(5)(B) of the Public Health Service Act. the patient definition guidelines set forth under the 340B Program. For more information, current patient definition guidelines, see 61 Fed. Reg. 55156 (Oct. 24, 1996). The 340B Program is limited to patients of the covered entity and has never been a general employee pharmacy benefit or self-insured organization pharmacy benefit. Evidence of an employer relationship or insurer relationship alone is insufficient to determine 340B patient eligibility.
