To Sign, or Not to Sign, the OptumRx^® Recoupment Waiver … That Is the Question

If your pharmacy has recently been through an OptumRx^® desk audit, you may have come across the OptumRx Provider Intent Form – Recoupment Waiver. This one-page form accompanies initial audit results and if signed, gives OptumRx^® even greater power over the pharmacy. A signature on the form indicates the following:

There is no apparent benefit to the pharmacy by signing this form. Additionally, signing and agreeing to the preliminary audit findings could be construed as the pharmacy’s admission of wrongdoing. Only OptumRx^® would benefit from this waiver and PAAS National^® does not feel it is in the best interest of pharmacies to sign.
