Question 2

To verify that the applicant has relevant professional experience with the 340B program

Answer

Attestation ensures that candidates possess genuine professional involvement with the 340B Drug Pricing Program, aligning with the credential's purpose.

Question 3

An applicant who submitted an ACE registration but has not yet received a scheduling authorization should first:

Accepted Answer

Contact Apexus to confirm that their application was received and is under review

Answer

Applicants should contact Apexus to verify receipt and status of their application rather than submitting duplicates or acting without authorization.

Question 4

Which document is typically NOT required as part of the ACE exam application process?

Accepted Answer

A letter of recommendation from a physician

Answer

The ACE program does not require physician letters of recommendation; eligibility is based on professional role and attestation, not third-party endorsements.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

TPA employees may register if they can demonstrate direct support of a covered entity's 340B program

Third-party administrators who provide direct 340B program support to covered entities are generally eligible to register for the ACE exam.
