Monitoring and Analyzing Revenue Leakage
Discounted purchases under the 340B Drug Discount Program have rapidly increased, requiring manufacturers to closely monitor program abuse to minimize market cannibalization, diversion, and margin loss. Manufacturers lack a unified view of commercial and 340B transactions to monitor and analyze potential revenue leakage.
Industry Challenges
Despite the 340B certification and audit process, compliance and revenue leakage is a growing fiduciary risk. Manufacturers lack controls and transparency to all relevant sales, product movement, and discounts aligned by covered entity and contract pharmacy. Some hospital systems are voluntarily settling with manufacturers in advance of CMS Final Rule on 340B, but manufacturers lack data to negotiate settlements.
Traditional syndicated datasets contain gaps and can be difficult to align with chargeback data to identify revenue loss. The inability to identify contract pharmacy lines in 867 data, along with issues arising from blinded or blocked portions of that data, can limit broader use of these datasets for analysis.
