Section 16-23-114 - Drugs, supplies and materials

(a) All charges for prescribed drugs, supplies, or materials for the use of the claimant shall be separately listed and certified by the health care provider, or a duly authorized representative that the charges for the drugs, supplies, or materials were required or prescribed for the injury covered by motor vehicle insurance benefits.

(b) Dietary supplements such as minerals and vitamins shall not be reimbursable unless a specific compensable dietary deficiency has been clinically established in the claimant as a result of the injury covered by motor vehicle insurance benefits.

(c) Payment for covered prescription drugs and supplies shall be made at the average wholesale price plus forty per cent of the average wholesale price when sold by a health care provider, hospital, pharmacy, or alternative health care provider of service. Billings for prescriptive drugs shall include the national drug code number listed in the current American Druggist Red Book followed by the average wholesale price listed at time of purchase by the health care provider of service. Approved generics shall be substituted for brand name pharmaceuticals unless the prescribing health care provider certifies no substitution is permitted because the claimant's condition will not tolerate a generic preparation.
