Audit Target: Linzess® Prescriptions
PAAS National® analysts have noticed an increase in audits targeting Linzess®.
As a Certified Pharmacy Technician at PAAS, I am here to assist and provide you with pre- and post-audit advice. I can also provide product and billing information.
I attended Madison College in nearby Madison, WI (PAAS headquarters are in the Madison suburb of Stoughton). Prior to coming to work at PAAS, I worked as a Certified Pharmacy Technician in a retail setting for 25+ years. Pharmacy has been my life’s work.
Helping our members have a successful audit experience is very rewarding. Celebrating with them, when PAAS often helps generate positive post-audit results, is the best part of my work.
PAAS National® analysts have noticed an increase in audits targeting Linzess®.
PAAS National® analysts are noticing more prescriptions being flagged for recoupment based on “incorrect” instructions for use on the patient label. Pharmacies and PBM auditors have very different perspectives on what a “misfilled” prescription is.
While seemingly mundane, the PAAS National® Audit Activity Tracker can serve a very important purpose. While pharmacy personnel may use this tool to stay organized with various audits coming their way, this tool can also be used to defend the pharmacy should an audit go awry.
Pharmacies that receive a National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC) Survey frequently contact PAAS National® for information and guidance.
Receiving audit results with discrepancies and financial recoupments can be very discouraging. PAAS National® analysts are here to assist you through the appeal process. Audit results do not always provide all appeal options, and you don’t want to miss out on another chance if your initial appeal is denied.
PAAS National® has seen a rise in desk audits from Script Care.
PAAS National® analysts want to warn pharmacies about an uptick in PBMs flagging prescriptions for bypassing plan limit rejects.
Pharmacies must be very diligent with electronic documentation when electronically storing their prescriptions.
PAAS National® analysts want to remind pharmacies of the audit risks when medications are dispensed outside manufacturer storage/dispensing requirements.
PAAS National® has recently become aware of an update Humana published regarding new point-of-sale edits for specific medications.
