Michigan HB4839 mandates that the Department of Human Services not cover brand name drugs if a generic equivalent exists, unless specific conditions.
Michigan HB4839 amends the state's medical services law to require the Department of Human Services to not cover brand name drugs if a generic equivalent exists. This applies unless the prescriber writes "dispense as written" or "d.a.w." on the prescription or indicates the prescription is to be dispensed as communicated. The bill defines terms such as "brand name," "dispense," "drug," "generic name," "prescriber," and "prescription" for clarity.
