Post Scrip: The ASPL Pharmacy Law Podcast

S4E3: Pharmacy Audits & FWA Investigations - Insights from a PBM and SIU Insider

American Society for Pharmacy Law (ASPL) Season 4 Episode 3

In this episode of Post-Script, Henry introduces Heidi McKinnon, PharmD, CHC, founder of RxExpert Insights, former Board of Pharmacy investigator, and former Head of Compliance and SIU oversight at a national PBM. With more than 20 years of experience inspecting pharmacies, responding to audits, and leading fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) programs, Heidi brings unmatched insight into how audits work — and how they can escalate into full investigations.

In this episode, Heidi gives us a preview of her upcoming conference session, where she’ll explore:

  • Common audit triggers and red flags that prompt SIU scrutiny
  • How audits function from both the PBM and Special Investigations Unit perspectives
  • Practical strategies to reduce risk exposure, prevent recoupments, and strengthen internal controls

Whether you’re a pharmacy owner, compliance officer, or part of an audit response team, you’ll come away with tools and real-world guidance to protect your operations and stay compliant.
