CCP-340B Practice Test (V1)
Dive into practice questions
Question 1
A patient is seen at a 340B-eligible hospital's outpatient oncology clinic. The oncologist writes a prescription, which the patient fills at the hospital's on-site pharmacy. To be considered a 340B-eligible patient for this dispense, which condition must be met?
- The patient must have an income below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
- The covered entity must maintain records of the patient's healthcare and the provider must have prescriptive authority.
- The patient must be uninsured or have Medicaid as their primary insurance.
- The prescription must be for a medication that is included on the hospital's formulary.
Question 2
A covered entity's compliance pharmacist discovers that a 340B-purchased drug was inadvertently dispensed to a patient who was admitted as an inpatient. This constitutes a diversion. What is the entity's immediate responsibility upon discovering this non-compliance?
- Report the individual pharmacist who dispensed the drug to the state board of pharmacy.
- Wait until the next HRSA audit to disclose the finding to the auditor.
- Contact the manufacturer, explain the error, and arrange for repayment of the 340B discount for that specific dispense.
- Immediately remove the drug from the 340B program formulary to prevent future errors.
Question 3
The GPO (Group Purchasing Organization) prohibition for a DSH-covered entity applies to which of the following scenarios?
- Using a GPO to purchase any medication for an inpatient admitted to the hospital.
- Using a GPO to purchase any covered outpatient drug for a 340B-eligible patient.
- Using a GPO to purchase medical supplies, such as syringes and gloves.
- Using a GPO to purchase vaccines for a community immunization clinic.
Question 4
During a self-audit, a 340B compliance pharmacist reviews records for a contract pharmacy. Which finding would represent a violation of the duplicate discount prohibition?
- A 340B-purchased drug was dispensed to an eligible patient, and the claim was submitted to their commercial insurance plan.
- A 340B-purchased drug was dispensed to an eligible patient who also has Medicaid, and the claim was submitted to Medicaid for reimbursement including a claim for a federal rebate.
- A non-340B drug (WAC-purchased) was dispensed to a Medicaid patient from the contract pharmacy's inventory.
- A 340B-purchased drug was dispensed to an eligible patient who paid for the medication with cash.
Answer Key
- Question 1: B. The covered entity must maintain records of the patient's healthcare and the provider must have prescriptive authority. (This is the core HRSA definition of a 340B patient; it is not based on income or insurance status.)
- Question 2: C. Contact the manufacturer, explain the error, and arrange for repayment of the 340B discount for that specific dispense. (This is the required corrective action for a diversion identified through self-disclosure.)
- Question 3: B. Using a GPO to purchase any covered outpatient drug for a 340B-eligible patient. (The GPO prohibition is specific to covered outpatient drugs for DSH and children's hospitals.)
- Question 4: B. A 340B-purchased drug was dispensed to an eligible patient who also has Medicaid, and the claim was submitted to Medicaid for reimbursement including a claim for a federal rebate. (This is the definition of a duplicate discount: the manufacturer gives a 340B price upfront and then also pays a Medicaid rebate on the same drug.)
