Due to the access to care issue for bronchodilation medications for customers with asthma and other respiratory issues, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) will temporarily remove the prior authorization requirements for generic albuterol sulfate inhalers, effective immediately. Pharmacy providers with questions may contact the Bureau of Professional and Ancillary Services at 877-782-5565 for FFS claims, or the applicable MCO.
