Step Therapy Webinar
2019-06-14 12:00 - 13:00
The National Psoriasis Foundation, the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society are pleased to invite you to join a free, educational webinar on step therapy patient protections in Minnesota.
More information about step therapy can be found here.
In 2018, the Minnesota legislature passed and enacted patient protections for the practice of step therapy in direct response to patient advocacy requests. These protections, effective as of January 2019, offer patients and physicians a clear process to obtain a step therapy protocol exception. The webinar will provide a synopsis of those protections, what to expect as a patient and provider and guidance on how they can be best utilized.
