Rhode Island H8382 strengthens enforcement of the state's pharmacy audit law by clarifying and tightening audit procedures.

Rhode Island H8382 aims to ensure pharmacy audits are conducted fairly and transparently by clarifying and tightening audit procedures. The bill mandates that audits must be based on actual overpayments or underpayments, not projections. It prohibits the use of extrapolation in calculating recoupments or penalties unless required by law. Audits involving clinical judgment must be conducted by or in consultation with a pharmacist. Pharmacies have the right to execute dispute resolution in their contracts.
