How should hospital outpatient departments prepare for 2026 HRSA 340B audits?

Hospitals should verify that each outpatient location listed in 340B claims is an HRSA-approved, reimbursable child site on the current Medicare cost report. Compliance teams need to maintain up-to-date documentation linking providers, patients, and encounters, and run regular eligibility sweeps to sync accumulators and prevent dispensing to ineligible sites.
