Ala. Code § 27-45-20: No Agreement for Services until Written Verification of Registration Obtained.

No insurance company, health maintenance organization (HMO), employer or organization offering a pharmaceutical prescription program to their employees or members in Alabama, shall enter into an agreement for services until they have obtained written verification that the provider pharmacies are registered with the Alabama State Board of Pharmacy. Such verification must be filed with the Alabama Department of Insurance within 10 days of initiating such agreement. Said department shall provide a copy of the verification to the Alabama State Board of Pharmacy. Failure to comply with such verification requirement shall result in a fine to the sponsor of such prescription program, of $100.00 per day, from the date that such agreement was signed until such verification requirement is satisfied.
