Spillover effects of state medicaid antipsychotic prior authorization policies in <scp>US commercially insured</scp> youth

Abstract

While Medicaid PA polices for antipsychotic oversight did not affect overall prescribing, there were spillover effects in U.S. commercially insured children <12 years-old. This suggests that state-level Medicaid policies intended to improve the quality of care and safe use of antipsychotics can have broad reach.
