The Department of Social Services issued a bulletin indicating that Medicaid now allows prescriptions for certain generic maintenance medications to be filled as a 90-day supply. They provided a list of eligible medications, recommending providers to check it regularly as the list is subject to change. Recipients must first establish compliance and tolerability of the medication before it can be filled as a 90-day supply. To qualify, a recipient must have filled the prescription for the same drug and strength for three 30-day supplies within the previous 100 days.
