Summary
Michigan Medicaid is ending three temporary COVID-19 pharmacy policies effective September 30, 2024, including pharmacist prescriptive authority for oral antivirals, coverage of monoclonal antibody injections by pharmacy providers, and stand-alone vaccine counseling services. All pharmacy requirements will revert to standard Medicaid policies after this date.
