Oklahoma HB1808 establishes transparency and efficiency in prescription drug prior authorizations and health insurance practices.

Oklahoma HB1808, the Ensuring Transparency in Prescription Drugs Prior Authorization Act, mandates that health plans provide timely responses to prior authorization requests, ensuring approvals are valid for the duration of treatment or one year. It prohibits step-therapy protocols for substance use disorder treatments and requires health plans to cover at least one readily available medication without prior authorization. The act also mandates that health plans cover at least one barrier to adherence without prior authorization if it poses a risk to the insured.
