House Votes on HB 183 & SB 112
Step-therapy Protocols - FAILED (AARP Supported)
Senate Bill 112 by Senator Harrell (Companion House Bill 183, by Representative Gonzalez Pittman). The legislation would have amended multiple sections in 409, Florida Statutes. Step therapy policies require an insured to try one drug first to treat his or her medical condition before insurance will cover another drug for that condition. Step therapy is commonly used in conjunction with prior authorization policies, which require providers to obtain approval from an insurer before a patient may receive specified prescription drugs under the plan. This legislation would have allowed Florida Medicaid recipients with serious mental illness to be exempted from step-therapy protocols if prior authorization was previously granted for the prescribed drug and the medication was dispensed to the patient during the previous 12 months. During the legislative session, the following votes were taken: House Healthcare Regulation Subcommittee (4/3); House Health Care Appropriations Subcommittee (4/12); Senate Health Policy (2/20); Senate Appropriations Committee on Health and Human Services (3/8); Senate Fiscal Policy (4/13); Senate Floor (4/27).
