Active Crosswalk Page

The Active Crosswalk page displays your current crosswalk by vendor. Your drug crosswalk is the foundation of your drug accumulations. It helps you maximize savings and prevent over purchasing by linking charge codes (CDMs) to NDCs that are being dispensed at the facility.  

Every item in your crosswalk is assigned a Billing Units Per Package (BUPP). The BUPP tells 340B Architect how many qualified charges must be received before the linked NDC can be repurchased at a discounted 340B price. You cannot purchase partially accumulated packages; therefore, the cumulative, dispensed quantity must equal or exceed the BUPP before you can accumulate and purchase a new package.

For more information on how to calculate BUPP, please view The Importance of the BUPP and How to Calculate It.

Accumulations can be viewed in the Pharmacy Accumulations page. See Pharmacy Accumulations for further information.
