Idaho Medicaid Drug Utilization Review Program

18 July 2013

1

Follow-up to Previous ReviewsBotulinumtoxin DURHydrocodone/APAP DURNystatin/triamcinolone Combo DUR

2

Botulinumtoxin DUROnly payable on the medical side (not self-

administered and not safe for patient to “brown bag” to physician’s office).

Prior authorization was instituted 7/1/2013.Before June 2013:

Prior authorization requests received were returned to prescriber with a note that prior authorization was not required at this time but would be required starting 7/1/13.

3

Botulinumtoxin DURStarting June 1, 2013:

Prior authorization requests were processed. Approvals were dated 7/1/13 with a note that

prior to July, prior authorization was not required.

Denials were sent back with an explanation of why request was denied. Claims still paid through 6/30/13.

4

Botulinumtoxin DURChronic daily headaches/migraines

New prior authorization form specifically for Botox for chronic daily headaches/migraines was written and posted on the website in June 2013.

Letter was sent in June with a copy of this prior authorization form to the Boise physician that was prescribing and administering the majority of Botox for this indication.

5

Botulinumtoxin DURBotox for indications other than chronic daily

headaches/migrainesAnother prior authorization form was created

for all other indications.

6

Botulinumtoxin DURTherapeutic criteria for chronic daily

headaches/migraines1. At least 15 days per month 2. At least four hours per day (on average)3. Prophylactic medication tried and failed4. Abortive medications (e.g. triptans) filled

monthly for at least 3 months

7

Botulinumtoxin DURDocumentation provided by prescribers has

dramatically improved after feedback from Idaho Medicaid on what information is needed.

Prescriber is now sending us a “Chronic Daily Headache” two page data collection sheet that the patient fills out.

Majority of requests received for this indication have been approved.

For new patients, two injections (12 weeks apart) are approved. This duration was chosen as in the licensing trial, reduction in headache frequency was seen by this length of time.

8

Botulinumtoxin DURFor patients who have already received one

dose prior to 7/1/13, a second dose will be approved if the patient meets the therapeutic criteria.

For patients with a positive response who have already received two or more doses, therapy will be approved for six months.

Hepatitis C AgentsIncivek and Victrelis

Review past 6 months of data for usage Are patients that started on therapy continuing

therapy? Will be requesting chart notes to determine why

patients discontinued therapy (e.g. intolerable side effects vs. non-responders to therapy based on viral counts) vs. non-compliance.

Will look for trends in patients that discontinued therapy (e.g. does rate vary between practices or geographically)

Are patients on TRIPLE therapy with ribavirin and interferon?  Check for adherence to all three medications.

Audit for checking viral counts at appropriate time intervals

17

Hepatitis C AgentsIncivek and Victrelis

Look at quarterly trends in usage since Incivek/Victrelis were approved by the FDA in May 2011 as patients were not started on double therapy (ribavirin/interferon) as the specialists were waiting for triple therapy to be available.

In the future an all oral regimen is going to be available for treatment of Hepatitis C so there may be patient “warehousing” again.

Long-Acting Narcotic EvaluationGoal: To evaluate impact of planned change

that would only allow one long-acting and one short-acting narcotic analgesic per participant without further prior authorization

Report was run and profiles generated for participants who had a claim for more than one unique long-acting narcotic analgesic between 12/1/2012 and 5/31/2013

N = 65

Buprenorphine DURSuboxone and Participants Paying Cash for

Other Opioids(includes Suboxone film, Suboxone tablets, buprenorphine/naloxone tablets, buprenorphine

tablets)

52

Buprenorphine DUR Identified all participants with at least one paid claim by

Idaho Medicaid between 2/1/13 and 4/30/13.

Ran Board of Pharmacy report for all of these participants to identify anyone who had received any other opioid with overlapping days of service and noted payment method (cash, Idaho Medicaid, other insurance). This DUR includes opioid claims from January 2013 that would overlap into February (e.g. paid cash for hydrocodone tablets 1/31/13 and had Idaho Medicaid pay for Suboxone 2/1/13). As the Board of Pharmacy only reports number of tablets and not days of service, we assumed a reasonable number of tablets used per day (e.g. six for hydrocodone/acetaminophen, two for OxyContin). Idaho Medicaid has a manual system for entering a block from paying for opioids for patients on Suboxone therapy but an occasional participant is overlooked allowing Idaho Medicaid to pay for opioids for patients also on Suboxone.

53

Buprenorphine DURData Collected

1. Sex (M/F)2. Age as of 4/30/13 (years)3. Overlapping paid claims for opioids (Y/N)4. What is opioid in addition to Suboxone ?5. Quantity of paid claims6. Duration of therapy of Suboxone7. Concomitant benzodiazepine usage8. Cost of therapy ($ and percentage) for patients paying cash

for opioids

54

Buprenorphine DURFor those patients identified who had paid

claims for other opioids that overlapped with days of service for Suboxone, a letter was sent to prescribers of both Suboxone and any other opioid. The Board of Pharmacy report was included as an attachment to these letters. (See packet for copy of letter)

One week after the letter was sent, payment for Suboxone was blocked by Idaho Medicaid and the lock on paying for other opioids was removed.

67

Buprenorphine DURBottom Line: Patients were found to be

paying cash for opioid therapy even after many years on Suboxone therapy.

Example – Patient who has been on Suboxone since 2006 paid cash 9 times for opioids during the 3 months of this DUR and 52 times total in the last two years (42 fills for oxycodone and 10 fills for hydrocodone).

68

Buprenorphine DURFeedback from week 1

One physician called and left message. Pharmacist called back and spoke to his nurse to explain what was happening. The physician never called back.

One participant called to complain, Pharmacist called and spoke to physician and re-authorized payment for Suboxone (second chance).

69

Buprenorphine DURFeedback from week 2

Participant called to state that Norco was not filled by her.  Pharmacist called prescriber of both Suboxone and Norco.  Giving her a second chance.

Physician called and stated that patient had knee surgery and was “off” Suboxone immediately post-op but plan is to stop other opioid and restart Suboxone.

Physician called and stated that patient had one fill of hydrocodone for dental surgery and would like patient to continue on Suboxone.

70

Buprenorphine DURContinued feedback

Patient’s Suboxone discontinued by prescriber due to other opioid use: 2 patients

Prescriber requested (and was granted) re-authorization for Suboxone after fill of other opioid s/p surgery: 2 patients

71

Buprenorphine DURFuture Plans

The department plans on running routine Board of Pharmacy reports every 3-6 months on all Suboxone patients.
