BILL NUMBER:S7384 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to directing the commissioner of health to develop a uniform prior prescription drug authorization form for managed care providers PURPOSE: This bill directs the Department of Health to develop a uniform prior authorization form for prescription drug benefits within Medicaid Managed Care. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The bill would add new subdivision 26 of section 364-j of the social services law, which would direct the Department of Health to develop a uniform prior authorization form to be used by Medicaid managed care providers to determine coverage of prescription drug benefits. JUSTIFICATION: The 2011-12 New York State Budget, as part of a comprehensive redesign of the Medicaid program, moved the overwhelming majority of prescription drug coverage from the Medicaid fee-for-service program into Medicaid Managed Care. As a result of this change, health care providers now have more than twenty formularies and prior authorization processes to contend with when writing prescriptions
