Public Health - Maryland Medical Assistance Program - Tobacco Cessation

Summary

The bill directs the Maryland Medical Assistance Program to provide both one‑on‑one and group counseling for tobacco cessation, as long as the state budget and federal law allow. It also prohibits the program and any managed‑care organizations from requiring prior authorization for any tobacco‑cessation product or service. The goal is to make quitting aids more accessible to Medicaid recipients.
