Why am I getting this notice?

We've sent you this notice because our records indicate you over paid your Branded Prescription Drug Fee. We need you to confirm that your payment was intended for another fee year or inform us where you want to apply the overpayment.

What is an "overpayment," and how is that different from a "refund?"
