I primarily do background investigations on pharmacies who have requested entry into our provider network. This entails doing a complete work up on the pharmacy, its owners and employees. I search LexisNexis, Accurint, SIRIS, numerous federal, state and health insurance databases for any information that reflects negatively or positively on a pharmacy’s ability to provide honest, cost effective service to our members. I review the pharmacy’s records regarding their dispensing of prescription pharmaceuticals to ensure that drugs are not stolen, misappropriated or diverted for street use. The background culminates in an onsite visit in which all aspects of the pharmacy’s operation, premises and inventory are examined to ensure that it meets industry and law enforcement guidelines. I also conduct general healthcare fraud investigations that are assigned as necessary. Show less
