MedImpact DAW Audits

APCI has received notice from several of our members that MedImpact is now recouping amounts based on DAW audits for prescriptions filled via e-script. These scripts were not deemed valid at the date of fill, because a law passed many years ago requiring the physician to write in his/her own handwriting on the face of the prescription either “medically necessary”, “do not substitute” or “dispensed as written.”
