How this page is built
- What is counted
- One row per registration in the register. This page is the row for this 340B ID; a figure that reads across a record and its locations counts the rows the register lists under this record as well.
- As of
- November 6, 2026 — the date of the register file this record was last listed in.
- Contract-pharmacy arrangements
- Each arrangement the register files between a covered entity and a pharmacy counts once. An arrangement counts among those with no end date where the register prints no termination date for it, and among the rest where it prints one.
