State Medicaid program; modifying appointment procedures for the Medicaid Drug Utilization Review Board. Effective date.
Senate Bill 927 (SB 927) modifies the appointment process for the Oklahoma Medicaid Drug Utilization Review Board, which oversees drug utilization programs for the state's Medicaid program. Specifically, it reduces the number of physician candidates that the Oklahoma State Medical Association must submit for consideration by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority Administrator, changing the requirement from at least six names to at least three. The bill also updates the name of the "Oklahoma Pharmaceutical Association" to the "Oklahoma Pharmacists Association" and clarifies residency language for an industry representative. These changes primarily affect the Oklahoma Health Care Authority and the medical and pharmaceutical associations involved in nominating board members.
