Kentucky HB296 mandates safety measures for psychotropic drugs prescribed to Medicaid-enrolled children.
Kentucky HB296 requires Medicaid-enrolled providers to give parents or guardians a Medication Guide before prescribing psychotropic drugs to children. The guide must detail FDA-identified side effects and risks, including pediatric-specific warnings. Providers must obtain written informed consent from parents or guardians, confirming they have reviewed the guide and understand the risks. The bill mandates the creation of an online reporting system for adverse drug reactions to psychotropic drugs, allowing parents and caregivers to report incidents.
