HRSA Expands FY2026 340B Audit Scope — New 'Furnished' Language Signals Broader Scrutiny of Drug Transactions
HRSA's updated Data Request List (DRL) for FY2026 340B audits now includes the word 'furnished' alongside 'administered or dispensed,' broadening the scope of how covered entities must document drug transactions. Additional changes indicate increased scrutiny on locations receiving 340B-priced drugs and demonstration of covered entity ownership for applicable locations (e.g., CE-owned pharmacies). FQHCs participating in the 340B program should update internal documentation and audit preparation procedures to reflect the expanded language.
Key takeaways
- HRSA added 'furnished' to audit language — broader than 'administered or dispensed,' covering more drug transaction types
- Increased scrutiny on CE-owned pharmacy locations and 340B drug distribution chains
- FQHCs should update 340B audit preparation procedures now for FY2026 compliance
