Action Required

Action needed

Providers should consider prescribing naloxone (NALOXONE SOLUTION PREFILLED SYRINGE FOR INJECTION 2MG/2ML or NARCAN NASAL SPRAY 4MG) to high-risk opioid patients including those on 50+ MME daily, concurrent benzodiazepines, or history of overdose. Update provider directory information at least 30 days in advance by emailing MHNYNetworkOperations@MolinaHealthCare.Com. Mark prior authorization requests as urgent/expedited only when standard timelines could seriously jeopardize patient health.
