§34-23-186. Extrapolation.  


Latest version.
  • Notwithstanding any other provision in this article or state or federal law, the entity conducting the audit may not use the accounting practice of extrapolation in calculating recoupments or penalties for audits. An extrapolation audit means an audit of a sample of prescription drug benefit claims submitted by a pharmacy to the entity conducting the audit that is then used to estimate audit results for a larger batch or group of claims not reviewed by the auditor. Future fills or refills beyond the current claim date may not be subject to recoupment due to an assumption of error under extrapolation procedure.
