Bill Summary

CONCERNING PROHIBITING PRIOR AUTHORIZATION FOR ANTIPSYCHOTIC PRESCRIPTION DRUGS USED TO TREAT A MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits the Colorado Medicaid program from requiring prior authorization for antipsychotic prescription drugs used to treat a mental health disorder or condition. Specifically, it states that the Medicaid program cannot require an adult to be prescribed a preferred antipsychotic drug if they were previously prescribed and unsuccessfully treated with a different antipsychotic drug, or if they are already stable on a non-preferred antipsychotic drug. The bill also allows for electronic attestation by the prescribing provider to override the preferred drug requirement in certain cases. Additionally, the bill provides an appropriation of over $3 million in state and federal funds to the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to implement these changes.
