    Random Audit Frequently Asked Questions

    • 1. Why must I audit my MN PMP history requests?

      Answer: Minnesota Statutes Section 152.126 subd. 6(m) requires that the Board of Pharmacy, on a quarterly basis, select random PMP account holders to review the request history attributed to their account to ensure all searches were authorized and permissible according to the Minnesota Statutes Section 152.126, Subd. 6(b).
