B.1.1 72-Hour Emergency Supply

Federal and Texas law requires that a 72-hour emergency supply of a prescribed drug be provided when a medication is needed without delay and prior authorization is not available. This rule applies to non-preferred drugs on the Preferred Drug List (PDL) and any drug that is affected by a clinical or therapeutic prior authorization edit and needs the prescriber's prior approval.
