Prior authorization of drugs the enrollee has been prescribed prohibition for at least six months

This bill prohibits health insurance plans in Minnesota from requiring prior authorization for prescription drugs that an enrollee has been taking consistently for at least six consecutive months. It directly affects health insurers and enrollees by eliminating unnecessary administrative hurdles for ongoing medications. The key provision adds a specific exception to prior authorization requirements under Minnesota Statutes §62M.07, ensuring continuous access to prescribed drugs without insurer approval after a six-month treatment period. The change applies to all health benefit plans offered, sold, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026.
