Minnesota HF667 clarifies medical assistance coverage of prescription drugs when cost-effective health insurance coverage is available.

Minnesota HF667 amends the state's statutes to clarify the conditions under which medical assistance covers prescription drugs. Specifically, it ensures that medical assistance covers cost-sharing for prescription drugs approved by a commercial insurer, even if the quantity exceeds a 34-day supply, without requiring prior approval from the commissioner. This applies when the enrollee is subject to a deductible for prescription drug coverage provided by the commercial insurer.
