Directs PEHP to include non-opioid pain medication options in state employee health insurance.

This resolution directs the Public Employees' Benefit and Insurance Program to adjust the state employee health insurance plan related to non-opioid pain medication. It mandates that the plan include at least one clinically appropriate non-opioid prescription drug as an alternative for each opioid prescription drug. Additionally, it prohibits the plan from imposing cost-sharing, prior authorization, step therapy, or other utilization review requirements on non-opioid drugs that are more restrictive than those applied to opioid drugs.
