Abstract

Administrative data from Florida Medicaid fee-for-service recipients under 2 years of age were reviewed for 7 seasons of respiratory synctial virus (RSV) activity and utilization of palivizumab prophylaxis (PP) prior to requirement for authorization. Utilization for certain indications (eg, chronic lung disease), following prematurity and gestational age at birth of <32 weeks, was modest; approximately two-thirds of eligible patients received prophylaxis. Infants with multiple indications had higher (approximately 80%) utilization of PP.
