How long must Medicaid related pharmacy records be maintained?

1. 2 years

2. 3 years

3. 5 years

4. 6 years

The correct answer is: 6 years

Medicaid related pharmacy records must be maintained for 6 years. This requirement comes from the Medicaid program integrity regulation, which states that all records pertaining to the furnishing of goods and services to Medicaid beneficiaries must be retained for 6 years from the date of the provision of such goods or services. This is to ensure that all necessary documentation is available for potential audits or investigations. The other options, while they may seem reasonable, do not align with this specific regulation and therefore would not be correct. It is important for healthcare providers to adhere to the specific requirements and regulations when it comes to maintaining records for Medicaid beneficiaries.
