PHARMACISTS: Provides for pharmacy record audits. (8/1/24)

SB 281 requires the state pharmacy commissioner to create specific rules for auditing pharmacy records. These new rules must establish standards for reviewing claims, ensuring quality, and investigating fraud or intentional deception. The bill directly affects pharmacy operations by mandating that audits follow the procedures set by the commissioner. It removes previous language regarding drug abuse audits and clarifies that the commissioner has the authority to define how these audits are conducted.
