Senate Votes on SB 264 & HB 721
Senate Votes on SB 306 & HB 389
Medicaid Providers - FAILED (AARP Supported) Senate Bill 306, by Senator Sharief (companion House Bill 389, by Representative Robinson, F., never had a hearing). The legislation would have amended section 409.967, Florida Statutes. The legislation would have required Medicaid managed care plans to ensure provider access during holidays and extended hours, with at least 50% of primary care providers in their network offering appointment availability outside regular business hours. It would have defined “outside regular business hours” as weekdays from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. and all day Saturday and Sunday, improving accessibility for Medicaid enrollees.
Step-Therapy Protocols - FAILED (AARP Supported) Senate Bill 264, by Senator Harrell (companion House Bill 721, by Representative Gonzalez- Pittman, never had a hearing). The legislation would have amended sections in 409, Florida Statutes. The legislation would have exempted medications for serious mental illness from Medicaid step-therapy rules, which require patients to try lower-cost drugs first. It would have ensured continued access if the medication had been previously authorized and dispensed within the past 12 months, with Agency for Health Care Administration adjusting Medicaid rates accordingly.
