Summary
New Jersey is implementing recoupment procedures to recover overpayments for inappropriate prescription services across multiple state assistance programs including Medicaid, General Assistance, AIDS Drug Distribution, Cystic Fibrosis Drug, and Pharmaceutical Assistance programs. Providers who received payments for prescription services that didn't meet program requirements will face recovery actions.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must review all New Jersey Medicaid and state assistance program prescription claims for compliance with program requirements. Verify that all billed prescription services meet appropriate criteria for Medicaid, GA, ADDP, CFD, and PAAD programs. Prepare documentation to support legitimacy of prescription services if subject to recoupment review. Non-compliant payments will be subject to recovery.
