Comments, which are due by December 11, can be made on eight proposals, including prohibition of step therapy protocols for diabetes treatment, prohibition of prior authorization for antineoplastic cancer treatment, coverage for imaging services for brain aneurysms, and coverage for prescription opioid alternatives, among others. More information on all of the proposals can be found here.
