prescription filled and refilled.

of the total number of prescriptions filled and refilled in the previous month and
remit the assessment due for that month. The declaration and payment shall be due
by the end of the following month.
(c) Each pharmacy shall submit its assessment payment to the Department monthly. Variations
in payment timing shall be permitted as deemed necessary by the Commissioner.
(d) Any pharmacy that fails to pay an assessment to the Department on or before the due
date shall be assessed a late payment penalty of two percent of the assessment amount
for each month it remains unpaid; but late payment penalties for any one quarter shall
not exceed $500.00. The Commissioner may waive a penalty under this subsection for
good cause shown by the pharmacy, as determined by the Commissioner in his or her
discretion. (Added 2005, No. 71, § 289; amended 2009, No. 156 (Adj. Sess.), § I.57.)
