August AI pilot could let AI approve 90-day refills after review
commerce.utah.gov ● Covered by 3 sources
August AI planned a pilot in which a 90-day refill could be approved without a clinician checking each refill first. The agreement aims to reduce clinician reviews to 1 in 20 by medication category after the initial review shift. This changes the workflow from upfront review of every refill to follow-up review, with less frequent clinician involvement.
Why it matters
August AI’s planned pilot would allow a 90-day refill to be approved without a clinician checking it first. The state agreement would move review from checking every refill up front to checking afterward, then potentially just one in 20 by medication category.
