Summary
Connecticut Medicaid (HUSKY) now allows pharmacists to prescribe and dispense emergency 30-day supplies of insulin, glucagon, and diabetes devices to patients with less than 7-day supply. Pharmacists must follow specific protocols including monitoring system checks, pharmacy communication, and provider notification within 72 hours.
Action Required
Effective April 1, 2021: Billing teams must update systems to accept pharmacist NPIs as prescribing providers for insulin, glucagon, and diabetes device claims for HUSKY patients. Configure claim edits to deny quantities exceeding 30-day supply (EOB code 0341) and implement 365-day lookback to prevent duplicate one-time emergency supplies (EOB code 3320). Ensure audit documentation requirements are met for pharmacist-prescribed diabetes supplies.
