Dear [Provider/Pharmacist]:
Thank you for your quality service and continued care
for the wellbeing of our members. As part of an ongoing effort to combat the
nationwide opioid overdose epidemic, Governor Rick Scott has signed House Bill (HB)
21 into law, which generally limits opioid prescriptions to a three day supply. This new Florida law
will be in effect starting July 1, 2018.
Magellan Complete Care is committed to fighting the
opioid epidemic, providing care for our members, and building healthier
communities. Here are some things that you need to know about the new bill and its
opioid prescription (Schedule II controlled substances) limitations and
requirements.*
