What are HRSA’s expectations for providing hospital classification documentation to support eligibility of hospitals in the 340B Program?

We now request documentation to support the hospital classification selected at the time of registration. This is to further verify eligibility of parent hospital registrations.

The 340B OPAIS will prompt Authorizing Officials and Primary Contacts (AOs and PCs) to upload supporting documentation for the “Hospital Classification” selected at the time of registration of a parent hospital. These include:

• “Private, non-profit which has a contract with a unit of State or local government.”
• “Owned or operated by a State or local government.”
• “Public or private non-profit corporation, which is formally granted governmental powers by a unit of State or local government.”

If a hospital is changing classifications during recertification, they will also be required to upload supporting documents.
