ACE Eligibility & Registration 3

Question 1

The ACE examination eligibility period after a successful registration is typically valid for how long?

Accepted Answer

90 days

Answer

After registration approval, candidates generally have a 90-day window in which to schedule and sit for the ACE examination.

Question 2

Which of the following covered entity types would NOT be expected to meet ACE eligibility requirements for its staff?

Accepted Answer

For-profit urgent care chains with no federal grant funding

Answer

For-profit urgent care chains without qualifying federal grant or program designations are not 340B-eligible covered entities, so their staff do not meet ACE eligibility.

Question 3

An applicant is employed by a contract pharmacy that has a 340B agreement with a covered entity. Under what condition might this applicant be eligible to register for the ACE?

Accepted Answer

If the applicant's role directly involves managing or auditing the 340B program operations

Answer

Contract pharmacy employees whose roles directly involve 340B program management or compliance may be eligible, as the credential recognizes substantive program involvement.

Question 4

Which scenario correctly describes a valid reason for Apexus to reject an ACE exam registration application?

Accepted Answer

The applicant failed to demonstrate any connection to a 340B-covered entity or program

Answer

A lack of demonstrable connection to the 340B Drug Pricing Program is a valid basis for rejecting an ACE registration, as the credential requires relevant professional involvement.

Question 5

When registering for the ACE exam, how should an applicant list their covered entity if they work for multiple covered entities simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

List only the covered entity where the most 340B work is performed

Answer

Applicants should identify the covered entity where the majority of their 340B-related work occurs as their primary affiliation for registration purposes.
