  3. Our mixed-use area has only inpatients or 340B eligible outpatients. We do not have any 340B ineligible patients. In this setting where the status of a patient (inpatient vs. outpatient) is not known until replenishment occurs by the split ordering software, and our accumulator splits orders into inpatient GPO and 340B, is it required to start with a WAC inventory?

The hospital must keep auditable records demonstrating that accumulation occurs for inpatient GPO or outpatient 340B for eligible patients (as defined by current patient definition guidelines (61Fed. Reg. 55156 (Oct. 24.1996)). A non-GPO outpatient account should be available for replenishment for covered outpatient drugs in the event a 340B product is not available.
