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.

Amerigroup Florida and Florida Simply plans have implemented Emergency Refill Too Soon procedures for their Florida Medicaid and Healthy Kids members.
