Dispense Date Sequence Validation

consistencycritical

Validates the chronological sequence of pharmacy claim dates. The written date (date prescription was written) must be on or before the dispense date (date medication was dispensed), and the dispense date must not be in the future. This ensures temporal consistency of pharmacy claims and catches backdated or future-dated prescriptions that may indicate fraud or data entry errors.
