Summary
MO HealthNet now covers up to a one-year supply of birth control in a single prescription fill at the pharmacy. Pharmacies can convert one-month prescriptions with refills to three-month supplies upon patient request without contacting the prescriber.
Action Required
No immediate billing team action required. This is a pharmacy dispensing policy that allows extended fills of birth control prescriptions. Providers should be aware that patients may receive longer supplies without additional prescriber contact required.
