Florida

Gov. Rick Scott (R) has declared the opioid epidemic a state of emergency in Florida (see Executive Order 17-146). In response to the opioid crisis, the Agency for Health Care Administration is implementing provisions under the Florida Medicaid program to assist in the prevention and treatment of substance use disorders. Florida Medicaid currently covers an array of behavioral health therapies and prescribed drugs to treat substance use disorders and does not limit the length of time recipients may receive treatment. You can find updated information on Medication-assisted treatment and additional changes related to prescribed drugs in the recent Provider Alert.

New York

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced he is advancing a 30-day budget amendment that would codify an Executive Order temporarily allowing pharmacists to administer flu vaccines to children ages two to 18 years. If enacted, this legislation would permanently suspend the section of the state education law that limits the authority of pharmacists to administer immunizing agents to anyone under 18 years of age. The budget amendment also includes language to encourage pharmacies to enroll in the New York State Vaccines for Children Program, which provides vaccines to children and individuals regardless of their ability to pay.
