For many covered entities, the 340B program holds transformative potential, offering a critical financial edge to safety-net hospitals and community health providers. But capitalizing on that potential is easier said than done.
The reality?
- Prescriptions get written outside qualifying sites.
- Audits reveal inconsistent patient-eligibility documentation.
- Duplicate discounts in Medicaid billing errors.
- Manufacturer disputes delay revenue flows.
In this challenging compliance and documentation web, Histroke’s MetaBridge is enabling a much-needed transformation for provider networks—moving them from reactive remediation to proactive governance.
The Challenge: Leaks, Loopholes, and Liability
A multi-location health network in the Midwest, with over 600,000 patient encounters annually, was facing 340B fatigue.
Pain Points Included:
- Inconsistent documentation between prescriber and dispensing pharmacies
- High risk of HRSA audit findings due to manual workflows
- Revenue leakage from ineligible prescriptions slipping into the 340B claim bucket
- Inability to unify contract pharmacies, clinics, and payor systems into a single compliance layer
The Solution: Histroke MetaBridge
Rather than plugging one leak at a time, the network adopted MetaBridge, an intelligent compliance infrastructure tailored for 340B operations.
1. Real-Time Prescription Eligibility Validation
MetaBridge connects EHR, pharmacy, and patient encounter systems to run real-time rule checks at the point of prescribing. This ensures every 340B-tagged prescription aligns with HRSA and Medicaid billing compliance.
2. Contract Pharmacy Reconciliation
The platform synchronizes all contract pharmacy data flows, applying validation rules on patient location, encounter logs, and inventory reconciliation—eliminating accidental duplicate discounts.
3. Executive Command Center
A role-based dashboard provides C-level executives with clear visibility: total savings captured, risk zones, invalid claim trends, and recovery estimates—enabling strategic compliance decisions.
The Impact Within 90 Days
- Recovered 340B prescription value increased
- 97% reduction in ineligible prescription claims
- 3x faster compliance reporting during HRSA audits
- Zero audit findings for the first time in five years
- Consolidated visibility across multiple contract pharmacies
A Shift from Reactive to Proactive 340B Management
The 340B program shouldn’t be a compliance burden—it should be a strategic advantage. MetaBridge equips healthcare networks with the intelligence, automation, and governance structure to stay compliant while maximizing impact.
Histroke isn’t just helping healthcare organizations participate in 340B—we’re helping them lead in it.
