Amends GS 90-85.50(b), adding an additional provision regarding the rights of a pharmacy subject to an audit by any responsible party, providing that the recoupment of claims have to be based on the actual financial harm to the entity or actual overpayment or underpayment.

Provides that the pharmacist has the right not to be subject to recoupment on any portion of the reimbursement of dispensed product of the prescription (was, on any portion of the product costs of the prescription), except in causes of fraud or other misrepresentation evidenced by a review of the claims data, statements, physical review, or other investigative methods (was, except in cases of fraud or misrepresentation).
