Bill overview
Senate Bill 1672 changes how AHCCCS (Arizona’s Medicaid program) covers prescription antipsychotic drugs for adults with serious mental illnesses. It limits the use of prior authorizations and step therapy protocols – processes that can delay or deny medication – while requiring a history of unsuccessful attempts with two different drugs before step therapy can be implemented. The bill also mandates electronic adjudication, considers a patient’s history over five years when determining if they’ve tried enough drugs, and ensures coverage is based on evidence-based research.
