NOTE ON SIGNATURES – the printed Registration
Form must be signed by an authorizing official of the proposed covered entity.
-
For STD and TB applicants, the authorizing official is the director of the
State or City health department administering the respective STD or TB grant in
your geographic area.
-
For FP applicants, the authorizing official is a responsible representative of
the funded grantee.
Forms that are signed by an individual that OPA determines is not an acceptable
authorizing official will not be processed. If you are in doubt regarding the
acceptability of a signature, please contact the Pharmacy Services Support
Center at 1-800-628-6297 or via email at pssc@aphanet.org prior to submission
of your registration form. |

| Once your form has been processed, OPA will notify you (at the
e-mail address that you provide on the Program Registration Form) of 1) your
effective date in the 340B Program and 2) provide you with your 340B number, a
unique number that OPA assigns to each covered entity. Please use this number
in all correspondence to OPA. This is the number used by manufacturers,
wholesalers, and others to search the OPA database to verify your participation
in the 340B program. It is the entity’s responsibility to tell its wholesaler
or manufacturer that it is registered for 340B prices when it places an order.
You may view the information for your entity on the OPA database by entering
the 340B ID number in the field labeled “340B ID.” New additions to the
database are closed two weeks prior to the start of the quarter. If you do not
see your entity listed on the database, you are NOT registered. |
