How do 340B manufacturers use ESP portals to verify contract pharmacy claims?

Manufacturers use electronic data portals, often called ESP systems, to verify and control 340B contract pharmacy claims. Covered entities must upload claim data directly into these portals, which manufacturers cross‑check against commercial and Medicaid information to prevent duplicate discounts and enforce distribution restrictions before approving 340B pricing.
