confirming the consumer is being considered <strong>and</strong>/or has been<br />
recommended for a transplant by either consortium <strong>and</strong> authorized<br />
by ODJFS. Additionally, in accordance with OAC 5101:3-2-03<br />

3. Care Coordination<br />
a. Utilization Management Programs<br />
General Provisions - Pursuant to OAC rule 5101:3-26-03.1(A)(7), MCPs<br />
must implement a utilization management (UM) program to maximize the<br />
effectiveness <strong>of</strong> the care provided to members <strong>and</strong> may develop other UM<br />
programs, subject to prior approval by ODJFS. For the purposes <strong>of</strong> this<br />
requirement, the specific UM programs which require ODJFS priorapproval<br />
are an MCP’s general pharmacy program, a controlled<br />
substances <strong>and</strong> member management program, <strong>and</strong> any other program<br />
designed by the MCP with the purpose <strong>of</strong> redirecting or restricting access<br />
to a particular service or service location.<br />
i. Pharmacy Programs - Pursuant to ORC Sec. 5111.172 <strong>and</strong> OAC<br />
rule 5101:3-26-03(A) <strong>and</strong> (B), MCPs may, subject to ODJFS prior-<br />
approval, implement strategies for the management <strong>of</strong> pharmacy<br />
utilization. Pharmacy utilization management strategies may<br />
include developing preferred drug lists, requiring prior<br />
authorization for certain drugs, placing limitations on the type <strong>of</strong><br />
provider <strong>and</strong> locations where certain medications may be<br />
administered, <strong>and</strong> developing <strong>and</strong> implementing a specialized<br />
pharmacy program to address the utilization <strong>of</strong> controlled<br />
substances, as defined in section 3719.01 <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Ohio</strong> Revised<br />
Code.<br />
Drug Prior Authorizations: MCPs must receive prior approval from<br />
ODJFS for the medications that they wish to cover through prior<br />
authorization. MCPs must establish their prior authorization<br />
system so that it does not unnecessarily impede member access to<br />
medically-necessary Medicaid-covered services. MCPs must<br />
make their approved list <strong>of</strong> drugs covered only with prior<br />
authorization available to members <strong>and</strong> providers, as outlined<br />
in paragraphs 37(b) <strong>and</strong> (c) <strong>of</strong> Appendix C.<br />
Beginning January 1, 2008, MCPs may require prior authorization for<br />
the coverage <strong>of</strong> antipsychotic drugs with ODJFS approval. MCPs<br />
must, however, allow any member to continue receiving a specific<br />
antipsychotic drug if the member is stabilized on that particular<br />
medication. The MCP must continue to cover that specific drug for the<br />
stabilized member for as long as that medication continues to be
