Access to Prescription Digital Therapeutics in Medicaid and CHIP
New rules aim to make it easier for states to cover the costs of prescription digital therapeutics under Medicaid and CHIP programs. This means more people, including children and pregnant women, could gain access to innovative health solutions that use software for treating illnesses. The federal government will provide support and guidance to help states fund these therapies.
