Updated Preferred Drug List (PDL) |
The Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) will post its updated PDL on March 13th, 2025. This update will include all changes that have been made during the past 12 months. While the Pharmacy Benefit Management System (PBMS) prior authorization system is pending restoration, HFS strongly encourages prescribers to prescribe and pharmacies to fill using drugs from the PDL as clinically appropriate. This will prevent customers from having to change medications in the future when the prior authorization system is restored.
As a reminder, HFS’ PDL can be accessed here
For questions, please contact a pharmacy billing advisor at 877-782-5565, Option 7.
