To comply with Medicare guidelines, the pharmacist must write off which of the following charges?
Deductible
Limiting charges
Disallowed charges
Prevailing charges
Disallowed charges
Rationale: To comply with Medicare guidelines, the pharmacist must write off disallowed charges. A "disallowed charge" is an amount that the insurance company has refused to pay, which is the difference between what has been billed by the health care provider and the amount the insurance company has actually paid. It is not billed to the patient, but simply written off by the provider.
