APNO member named to Medicaid Drug Utilization Boa

September 4, 2007

One of our members, Jennifer Passanise, has been named to 
the Medicaid Drug Utilization Board by Governor Matt Blunt. 
In this capacity, she will help determine which drugs are 
covered by Medicaid. She is requesting input from anyone 
on any medications you would like to see covered and why.  
 
 
 
Jennifer says: "The next meeting is October 17th, 2007 at 
10:00 am. If any of the APNO members would like to contact 
me it is best by email. My address is jenn@entrapped.com.  
I would prefer the members include some of their clinical 
practice experiences with the drugs that they would like me 
to review as well as any journals that they would like me 
to read. That way I will have something to take with me to 
the board. I have already had an interest in Chantix and 
Coreg, but would love more information and their personal 
insights on these drugs. We meet every quarter on the 
third Wednesday of each month. Thanks again and please let 
me know if you or anyone has any further questions or 
comments."  
 
 
Sincerely,  
 
Jennifer Passanise, FNP
