Bill overview
This bill changes Michigan’s health insurance laws to prevent insurance companies from requiring prior authorization for medications used to treat opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. Currently, insurers can often demand approval before covering these medications, which can delay or prevent patients from accessing necessary treatment. This legislation removes this requirement, aiming to improve access to care for individuals struggling with these conditions. It specifically targets health insurance policies sold within the state of Michigan.
