State Looks At Necessity Of Viagra Minnesota To Decide If Impotence Drug Is Medically Needed Before Including In Medicare Program ST. PAUL, Posted 12:05 p.m. July 8, 1998 -- Minnesota will examine whether Viagra is medically necessary before deciding whether to include the impotence drug in the state's Medicaid program. Viagra is the brand name for the first perscription oral pill to treat impotence, which first came on the market this spring. The federal government has directed states to include Viagra in their Medicaid programs. Health officials in at least two states -- New York and Wisconsin -- say they won't go along with the federal directive. In Minnesota, state Human Services Commissioner David Doth says he's prepared to resist if experts convince him Viagra is not medically necessary. Viagra costs about $8-$10 per pill. A committee of pharmacists and physicians will meet in August to consider whether the drug is medically necessary. channel4000.com
