Minnesota SF1340 modifies prescription drug coverage by extending the validity of drug authorizations and delaying changes in prior authorization.

Minnesota SF1340 amends the state's health care laws to extend the validity of prescription drug authorizations for the duration of an enrollee's contract term, provided the drug continues to be prescribed for a condition requiring ongoing medication therapy. The bill also delays the application of changes in prior authorization clinical criteria until the next plan year for enrollees who received prior authorization under the previous criteria.
