The HRSA 340B Office of Pharmacy Affairs Information System (OPAIS) is the public registry of covered entities enrolled in the federal 340B drug-pricing program — disproportionate-share hospitals, FQHCs, and other safety-net providers eligible for discounted outpatient drugs. The schema and provenance contract are live; the first OPAIS export snapshot is pending, so the table currently holds 0 rows.
How this source shows up on Fonteum.
Will surface 340B covered-entity identity (340B ID, entity name, entity type, participation status, location) on the dataset page once the first OPAIS export lands. NPI / CCN cross-link into the entity graph is deferred to a gated follow-up — ambiguous matches are held, never written.
What this source does NOT mean
340B participation is a drug-pricing-program enrollment record — it does not indicate provider quality, outcomes, or endorsement. Presence in OPAIS means an entity is enrolled in the 340B program; it is not a Fonteum assessment of that entity.
Research and data questions this source supports.
- Identify hospitals, FQHCs, and clinics enrolled in the federal 340B drug-pricing program once the first OPAIS snapshot lands.
- Cross-reference 340B covered-entity participation against CMS facility identity for safety-net program analysis.
- Build a research dataset of 340B participation with row-level provenance and snapshot dates.
- Track entity-type composition (disproportionate-share hospitals vs. FQHCs vs. other grantees) across the 340B program.
Dataset size: 0 rows — first OPAIS export snapshot pending (as of 2026-06-14)

Research-only — never on profiles
4 fieldsWhat we can’t infer from this source.
- First ingest snapshot pending — the table currently holds 0 rows. Figures will populate once the operator runs the OPAIS export.
- OPAIS publishes no clean no-auth flat-file endpoint; the snapshot is an operator-driven export, so cadence depends on that pull.
- NPI / CCN -> entity-graph cross-link is deferred; ambiguous matches are held, not written.
- 340B enrollment is a program-participation fact, not a quality measurement.

What the source allows.
U.S. government public-domain works. HRSA publishes the 340B covered-entity registry through the OPAIS public search (340bopais.hrsa.gov); attribution to HRSA OPAIS is the only requirement.

Common questions about HRSA 340B OPAIS.
- What is the 340B program?
- The 340B Drug Pricing Program requires drug manufacturers to provide outpatient drugs to eligible safety-net providers — covered entities — at significantly reduced prices. HRSA's Office of Pharmacy Affairs administers the program and publishes the covered-entity registry through OPAIS.
- What is OPAIS?
- OPAIS is the 340B Office of Pharmacy Affairs Information System — HRSA's public registry of 340B covered entities and contract pharmacies. It records each entity's 340B ID, name, entity type, participation status, and location.
- Why does this dataset currently show 0 rows?
- OPAIS does not publish a clean no-authentication flat-file endpoint, so the snapshot is operator-driven: it requires an export from the OPAIS public search. The schema and provenance contract are live, but the first export snapshot is pending — so the table honestly holds 0 rows until that ingest runs.
- Does 340B participation indicate provider quality?
- No. 340B participation is a drug-pricing-program enrollment record. It indicates that an entity is enrolled in the program — it is not a measurement of clinical quality, outcomes, or any Fonteum assessment of that entity.
- Will 340B data link to provider profiles?
- Not yet. OPAIS carries Medicare CCN and NPI where present, but the NPI / CCN cross-link into Fonteum's entity graph is deferred to a gated follow-up. Ambiguous matches are held, never written, to avoid asserting an identity link that the source does not unambiguously support.
