摘要
尽管戒烟药物是戒烟的一线治疗方法,但大多数医疗补助计划都要求医疗服务提供者在开具戒烟药物处方前获得事先授权。我们研究了科罗拉多州医疗补助计划取消对这些药物的事先授权要求对其使用的影响,并估算了 2023 年因政策变化而使用这些疗法的科罗拉多州新增人数。研究结果表明,这些要求减少了低收入人群对这些药物的使用。(Am J Public Health.https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307868 )。
Prior Authorization Requirements and Medicaid Enrollees' Use of Tobacco Cessation Medications, Colorado, 2023.
Despite tobacco cessation medications being a first-line treatment for quitting smoking, a majority of Medicaid programs require health care providers to obtain prior authorization before prescribing them. We examined the impact of Colorado's Medicaid program removing its prior authorization requirement for these drugs on their use and estimated the additional number of Coloradoans who used these therapies in 2023 because of the policy change. The findings indicate that these requirements decrease low-income people's use of these medications. (Am J Public Health.
