The board shall use computer software 138.14 programs to: 138.15 (1) list eligibility requirements for pharmaceutical 138.16 assistance programs offered by manufacturers; 138.17 (2) list drugs that are included in a supplemental rebate 138.18 contract between the commissioner and a pharmaceutical 138.19 manufacturer under section 256.01, subdivision 2, clause (23); 138.20 and 138.21 (3) link individuals with the pharmaceutical assistance 138.22 programs most appropriate for the individual. The board shall 138.23 make information on the prescription drug assistance program 138.24 available to interested individuals and health care providers 138.25 and shall coordinate the program with the statewide information 138.26 and assistance service provided through the Senior LinkAge Line 138.27 under subdivision 7. 138.28(b) The board shall work with the commissioner and county138.29social service agencies to coordinate the enrollment of138.30individuals who are referred to the prescription drug assistance138.31program from the prescription drug program, as required under138.32section 256.955, subdivision 4a.138.33 [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective January 1, 2006. 138.34 Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 256B.0595, 138.35 subdivision 2, is amended to read: 138.36 Subd. 2. [PERIOD OF INELIGIBILITY.] (a) For any 139.1 uncompensated transfer occurring on or before August 10, 1993, 139.2 the number of months of ineligibility for long-term care 139.3 services shall be the lesser of 30 months, or the uncompensated 139.4 transfer amount divided by the average medical assistance rate 139.5 for nursing facility services in the state in effect on the date 139.6 of application. The amount used to calculate the average 139.7 medical assistance payment rate shall be adjusted each July 1 to 139.8 reflect payment rates for the previous calendar year. The 139.9 period of ineligibility begins with the month in which the 139.10 assets were transferred. If the transfer was not reported to 139.11 the local agency at the time of application, and the applicant 139.12 received long-term care services during what would have been the 139.13 period of ineligibility if the transfer had been reported, a 139.14 cause of action exists against the transferee for the cost of 139.15 long-term care services provided during the period of 139.16 ineligibility, or for the uncompensated amount of the transfer, 139.17 whichever is less. The action may be brought by the state or 139.18 the local agency responsible for providing medical assistance 139.19 under chapter 256G. The uncompensated transfer amount is the 139.20 fair market value of the asset at the time it was given away, 139.21 sold, or disposed of, less the amount of compensation received. 139.22 (b) For uncompensated transfers made after August 10, 1993, 139.23 the number of months of ineligibility for long-term care 139.24 services shall be the total uncompensated value of the resources 139.25 transferred divided by the average medical assistance rate for 139.26 nursing facility services in the state in effect on the date of 139.27 application. The amount used to calculate the average medical 139.28 assistance payment rate shall be adjusted each July 1 to reflect 139.29 payment rates for the previous calendar year. The period of 139.30 ineligibility begins with the first day of the month after the 139.31 month in which the assets were transferred except that if one or 139.32 more uncompensated transfers are made during a period of 139.33 ineligibility, the total assets transferred during the 139.34 ineligibility period shall be combined and a penalty period 139.35 calculated to begin on the first day of the month after the 139.36 month in which the first uncompensated transfer was made. If 140.1 the transfer was reported to the local agency after the date 140.2 that advance notice of a period of ineligibility that affects 140.3 the next month could be provided to the recipient and the 140.4 recipient received medical assistance services or the transfer 140.5 was not reported to the local agency, and the applicant or 140.6 recipient received medical assistance services during what would 140.7 have been the period of ineligibility if the transfer had been 140.8 reported, a cause of action exists against the transferee for 140.9 the cost of medical assistance services provided during the 140.10 period of ineligibility, or for the uncompensated amount of the 140.11 transfer, whichever is less. The action may be brought by the 140.12 state or the local agency responsible for providing medical 140.13 assistance under chapter 256G. The uncompensated transfer 140.14 amount is the fair market value of the asset at the time it was 140.15 given away, sold, or disposed of, less the amount of 140.16 compensation received. Effective for transfers made on or after 140.17 March 1, 1996, involving persons who apply for medical 140.18 assistance on or after April 13, 1996, no cause of action exists 140.19 for a transfer unless: 140.20 (1) the transferee knew or should have known that the 140.21 transfer was being made by a person who was a resident of a 140.22 long-term care facility or was receiving that level of care in 140.23 the community at the time of the transfer; 140.24 (2) the transferee knew or should have known that the 140.25 transfer was being made to assist the person to qualify for or 140.26 retain medical assistance eligibility; or 140.27 (3) the transferee actively solicited the transfer with 140.28 intent to assist the person to qualify for or retain eligibility 140.29 for medical assistance. 140.30 (c) If a calculation of a penalty period results in a 140.31 partial month, payments for long-term care services shall be 140.32 reduced in an amount equal to the fraction, except that in 140.33 calculating the value of uncompensated transfers, if the total 140.34 value of all uncompensated transfers made in a month not 140.35 included in an existing penalty period does not exceed $200, 140.36 then such transfers shall be disregarded for each month prior to 141.1 the month of application for or during receipt of medical 141.2 assistance. 141.3 [EFFECTIVE DATE.] This section is effective for transfers 141.4 occurring on or after July 1, 2005. 141.5 Sec. 3.

The actual 144.21 acquisition cost of antihemophilic factor drugs shall be 144.22 estimated at the average wholesale price minus 30 percent.

This paragraph expires July 1, 2005. 147.18 (e) The commissioner may require prior authorization for 147.19 brand name drugs whenever a generically equivalent product is 147.20 available, even if the prescriber specifically indicates 147.21 "dispense as written-brand necessary" on the prescription as 147.22 required by section 151.21, subdivision 2. 147.23 (f) Notwithstanding this subdivision, the commissioner may 147.24 automatically require prior authorization, for a period not to 147.25 exceed 180 days, for any drug that is approved by the United 147.26 States Food and Drug Administration on or after July 1, 2005. 147.27 The 180-day period begins no later than the first day that a 147.28 drug is available for shipment to pharmacies within the state. 147.29 The Formulary Committee shall recommend to the commissioner 147.30 general criteria to be used for the prior authorization of the 147.31 drugs, but the committee is not required to review each 147.32 individual drug. In order to continue prior authorizations for 147.33 a drug after the 180-day period has expired, the commissioner 147.34 must follow provisions of this subdivision. 147.35 Sec. 9.
