Medicaid La Suboxone Rx Limits

Updated

I heard from a friend that Louisiana Medicaid is putting a limit on the amount of time it will pay/cover Suboxone prescriptions. I would like to know if this is true.

Hello, Crystal! How are you?

I don't know all the specifics, but many states are putting limits on it, such as only paying for it for one year.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. '

Is there anything else I can help with?

Max daily dosage of up to 24 mg a day for 90 consecutive days. After the 90 days a max of 16 mg a day dosage.

Louisisna Medicaid has extended the allowed time to refill non controlled substances to 12 month. But, this does not apply to Suboxone.

Louisiana Medicaid has done this with several meds and continues to add to the list. You may want to try a Prescription DIscount Card. But, since Medicaid pays for some of it I'm sure sure if it will be of help. Places like NeedyMeds and PatientAssist won't help if you are eligible or receive any type of prescription insurance.

Google Patient Assistance Programs AND Suboxone. That may produce some info that may help.
