Bill > SF3822

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to prohibit the use of prior authorization and step therapy for drugs used in the treatment of opioid use disorder under medical assistance, which refers to government-funded healthcare programs. Prior authorization is a process where a healthcare provider must obtain approval from an insurance company before a specific drug or treatment is covered, and step therapy requires patients to try less expensive medications first before a more expensive one is approved. By removing these requirements for opioid use disorder treatments, the bill aims to ensure that individuals seeking help for addiction can access necessary medications without delay or administrative hurdles.
