Introduced Text

Ohio HB374 requires Medicaid plans to cover prescription readers for visually impaired patients and prohibits prior authorization for certain.

Ohio HB374 mandates that Medicaid plans cover prescription readers for visually impaired patients. These readers audibly convey drug label information, including cautions, interactions, contraindications, and side effects. The bill also prohibits Medicaid plans from imposing prior authorization requirements for antidepressants and antipsychotics administered in standard tablet or capsule form, except for long-acting injectable antipsychotics. The law applies to health benefit plans delivered, issued for delivery, modified, or renewed in Ohio after the bill's effective date.
