This amendment replaces the bill. The amendment adds provisions to the requirements in current law relating to on-site audits of pharmacy providers conducted by pharmacy benefits managers on behalf of health insurance carriers. The amendment requires auditors to give advance notice of audits, gives pharmacy providers the right to request mediation to resolve disagreements and makes clear that provisions relating to retrospective denial of claims apply to pharmacy claims subject to an audit.
