                   IN ASSEMBLY
 
                                    January 30, 2017
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by  M.  of  A.  GOTTFRIED  --  read once and referred to the
          Committee on Health
 
        AN ACT to amend the social services law, in  relation  to  coverage  for
          certain  prescription  drugs; and to repeal certain provisions of such
          law relating thereto
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Subdivision 25 of section 364-j of the social services law,
     2  as  added  by section 55 of part D of chapter 56 of the laws of 2012, is
     3  amended to read as follows:
     4    25. [Effective January first, two thousand thirteen,  notwithstanding]
     5  Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  law  to  the contrary, managed care
     6  providers shall cover medically  necessary  prescription  drugs  in  the
     7  anti-depressant,   anti-retroviral,  antirejection,  seizure,  epilepsy,
     8  endocrine, hematologic, immunologic and atypical antipsychotic therapeu-
     9  tic [class] classes, including non-formulary drugs, upon [demonstration]
    10  determination by the prescriber under this subdivision. If the  prescri-
    11  ber,  after  consulting  with the managed care provider, determines that
    12  such drugs, in the prescriber's reasonable  professional  judgment,  are
    13  medically  necessary and warranted, the prescriber's determination shall
    14  be final. However, the prescriber's determination shall  not  be  final:
    15  (a)  where  the  drug approved by the managed care provider is a generic
    16  drug subject to subparagraph (i) of paragraph (a-1) of subdivision  four
    17  of section three hundred sixty-five-a of this article (mandatory generic
    18  substitution),  and  the  prescriber has indicated that the prescription
    19  shall be dispensed as written; or (b) if it is for the  use  of  a  drug
    20  that is not consistent with food and drug administration-approved label-
    21  ing  or  supported by one or more official Compendia references, includ-
    22  ing, but not limited to, the American Hospital Formulary Service (AHFS),
    23  the DRUGDEX Drug Information System and the United States Pharmacopeia.
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD07092-02-7
        A. 4007                             2
 
     1    § 2. Subdivision 25-a of section 364-j of the social services  law  is
     2  REPEALED.
     3    §  3.  This  act  shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
     4  have become a law; provided that effective immediately, the commissioner
     5  of health may make regulations  and  take  other  actions  necessary  to
     6  implement  this act on that date; and provided, further, that the amend-
     7  ments to section 364-j of the social services law made by section one of
     8  this act shall not affect the repeal of such section and shall be deemed
     9  repealed therewith.
