Gov. Reeves concerned prior authorization bill will up premiums for state employees
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Senate Bill 2140, aimed at reforming the prior authorization process, will become law without Governor Tate Reeves’ signature. The Governor expressed concerns on social media about the bill’s potential impact on Mississippi state employees’ insurance premiums, fearing it could increase them. He noted that the bill limits the State Plan’s flexibility in adjusting pharmaceutical coverage, potentially leading to higher costs for more expensive drugs, even when cheaper alternatives are available. Reeves suggested amendments like excluding the State Plan or funding the extra costs through annual appropriations. The new law mandates insurers to respond quickly to authorization requests and establishes an online portal for processing these requests.
