Tennessee HB1741 authorizes insurers that provide coverage for inmates to adopt or amend a preferred drug list (PDL) for medications. The bill specifically requires that non-opioid drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for pain management must not be disadvantaged in coverage compared to opioid or narcotic drugs. This legislation primarily affects insurance policies covering incarcerated individuals and aims to promote the use of non-opioid pain management options.
