EHB (Electronic Handbook)
Definition
The Electronic Handbook (EHB) is a HRSA database that contains grant information for HRSA grantees, including federally qualified health centers, Ryan White grantees, and other federally funded health programs. HRSA uses the EHB to verify grant funding status when determining eligibility for certain covered entity types.
For FQHC and other grant-funded covered entity types, HRSA cross-references EHB data to confirm that the entity has active grant funding that supports its 340B eligibility. Changes in grant funding status that are reflected in the EHB can affect 340B eligibility.
Covered entities that are grant-funded should ensure their grant information is current in the EHB and monitor for any changes that could affect their 340B eligibility.
