Bill overview
This bill changes the medical assistance program to exempt certain prescription drugs from requiring prior authorization. Specifically, it will exempt single-source brand-name drugs, generic equivalents, and other medications used to treat conditions like epilepsy, cancer, HIV, opioid withdrawal, and mental health disorders, as long as they are recognized in standard medical references. The exemptions apply to drugs provided under contracts with health maintenance organizations and managed care organizations, provided the contracts comply with the bill’s provisions.
