Navigating the complexities of 340B compliance can be overwhelming for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). That’s why we created 340Banter—a podcast dedicated to empowering healthcare professionals with insights, best practices, and expert advice to make the most of your 340B Program. Tune in for actionable strategies and some fun banter created to help you get the most out of your 340B Program.
Recorded live at the RWC 340B Grantees Conference in Houston, this episode of 340Banter examines the growing operational impact of manufacturer policies requiring claims data from entity-owned pharmacies.
The conversation covers the challenges pharmacies face in extracting and formatting data, the importance of aligning the correct 340B ID with wholesaler purchasing accounts, and how pharmacies can navigate the 45-day claims submission window while minimizing unnecessary reversals.
The team also clarifies current entity-owned pharmacy requirements within the Truzo platform and discusses how covered entities can respond when manufacturer policies conflict with state data submission laws. Practical guidance is also shared on distributing the workload across pharmacy teams as these requirements continue to evolve.

Good Faith Inquiries
Manufacturer Good Faith Inquiries (GFIs) are becoming increasingly important for 340B covered entities. But what triggers a GFI, and how should an FQHC respond?
In this episode, the FQHC 340B Compliance team discusses the rise in Manufacturer Good Faith Inquiries and how increased access to 340B transaction data is allowing manufacturers to identify potential compliance concerns.
The conversation covers common GFI triggers, including potential Medicaid duplicate discounts and unusual purchasing patterns, as well as what can happen if an inquiry is not adequately addressed.
You’ll also learn practical steps for responding to a GFI, including working with your TPA, consultants, legal counsel, and other 340B partners; reviewing the underlying claims and purchasing data; providing clear documentation; and addressing potential repayment obligations when necessary.

Washington Contract Pharmacy Protection Bill
In this episode of 340Banter, we sit down with Lisa Nelson, Chief Pharmacy Officer at Unity Care Northwest, to discuss the advocacy behind Washington’s Contract Pharmacy Protection Bill.
Lisa shares how health centers, pharmacy associations, public hospital partners, and other advocates built a coalition to move the legislation forward during Washington’s 60-day legislative session.
We also discuss the Medicaid and federal funding arguments that helped gain support, transparency requirements for covered entities and manufacturers, and the pushback advocates faced throughout the process.
For other states considering similar 340B protections, Lisa shares practical lessons from Washington’s experience with coalition building and legislative advocacy.
