| 4/2/2020 12:29 PM | | Corona Virus Updates - Revised 03/31/2020 WV MEDICAID MAX SCRIPT DAYS LIMITS CHANGED TO NINETY (90) DAYS FOR NON-CONTROLLED MAINTENANCE MEDICATIONS Attention WV Medicaid Pharmacy Providers, In response to the COVID-19 novel coronavirus outbreak, until further notice WV Medicaid has changed the Pharmacy POS Max Script Days limitations policy to allow up to a ninety (90) day supply of Non-Controlled maintenance medications to be dispensed with each fill. This change does not apply to Non-Controlled NDC?s that currently have a specific Max Script Days limit in place (e.g. 14 days for many short-term oral antibiotics). Those specific Max Rx Days limits will remain in place.
Additionally, this change does not apply to any Controlled Substance NDC's with a DEA Schedule of II, III, IV, or V. WV MEDICAID COVID RESPONSE: NON-INSURED PATIENTS In response to the ongoing COVID-19 emergency, WV Medicaid has been authorized to provide Pharmacy POS coverage of a limited number of medications to NON-INSURED patients who are experiencing symptoms associated with a possible COVID-19 infection. The following medications are available under this temporary emergency benefit: *Albuterol 90 mcg inhaler *Guaifenesin *Dextromethorphan *Guaifenesin-dextromethorphan *Acetaminophen
Prescriptions written for these medications may be covered for non-insured patients by using the Medicaid ID number 24000000099. Prescribers please include on the prescription: "Dx: For symptoms related to a possible COVID-19 infection"
NOTE: In order to cover non-insured patients using the single ID number (24000000099), all automated drug utilization review (DUR) and clinical safety edits have been turned off in our system for any claims using that single ID number. All responsibility for the safety and clinical appropriateness of these medications lies with the prescriber and the filling pharmacist. E-prescribing functionality is still available; however, the patient history will not be accurate for the Medicaid ID listed above. UPDATE: WV MEDICAID COVERAGE OF PLAQUENIL (HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE) AND CHLOROQUINE As of 03/27/2020, WV Medicaid has extended the Pharmacy POS coverage of Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) and chloroquine to allow for USE WITH A DOCUMENTED POSITIVE TEST RESULT FOR COVID-19, both for WV MEDICAID MEMBERS and NON-INSURED PATIENTS. (Use Medicaid ID number 24000000099 for non-insured patients. DUR and clinical safety edits are turned off for claims for using this single non-insured ID number).
WV Medicaid Members with established history of use of these drugs (60 days of therapy in the past 90 days) will not require Prior Authorization, but all other claims for them will require a review by the WV Medicaid Rational Drug Therapy Program (RDTP), phone number 1-800-847-3859. On-label use requires documentation of diagnosis. Off-label use for COVID-19 requires documentation of a positive test result. Thank you for all that you are doing during this time. We will let you know of any other changes that may be needed for this situation.
