For Medicaid recipients, maintaining access to critical Medicaid services is imperative during the State of Emergency related to Tropical Storm Debby. To this end, the Agency will ensure reimbursement for critical Medicaid services provided in good faith to eligible recipients who reside in the counties impacted by the storm. The Agency will waive all prior authorization requirements for critical Medicaid services beginning August 4, 2024, until further notice. Early prescription refill edits have been lifted for all maintenance medications (note: this does not apply to controlled substances).
