Getting My Medicine
Generic drugs must be used when available. There are drugs that may have a limit on how much you can get at one time and its strength. Sometimes you have to try other medications first before we approve a drug. This is called Step-Therapy.
If you are a member with no Medicare coverage, please click here for the Prescription Drug List for the Medicaid Managed Medical Assistance (MMA) Program.
FCC uses a Preferred Drug List (PDL). The PDL is a list of drugs that we prefer your doctor use. The Florida Medicaid PDL is subject to revision following consideration and recommendations by the Pharmaceutical and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee and the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). Medications on the PDL are organized by the therapeutic classification and includes brand and generic name along with any age limits and clinical prior authorization (PA) requirements. Please refer to the separate Summary of Limitations document for important information regarding quantity and/or age limits for applicable drugs.
We cover brand name and generic drugs. Generic drugs have the same ingredients as brand name drugs, but they are often cheaper than brand name drugs. They work the same. Sometimes, we may cover brand name drugs even if a generic is available.
The list of covered drugs may change from time to time, but we will let you know if anything changes. You can work with your doctor to ensure use of medications on the PDL or request prior authorizations for medications on the PDL with restrictions or not included on the PDL.
Your doctor will get prior approval for the drugs that need it. Your doctor may want to give you a drug that is not on the PDL. Your doctor will ask an approval through Florida Community Care’s Pharmacy Department. We will reply to your doctor in (24) hours. If the request is approved, we will tell your doctor. If a request is denied, a letter will be mailed. The letter will tell you the reason for the denial. The letter will let you know how to appeal.
You may be taking a drug that is no longer on our PDL. Your doctor can ask us to keep paying for this drug by requesting a prior approval. The drug must be safe and help you with your medical problem.
There are drugs that are not covered, for example some drugs for weight loss or cosmetic purposes. You may want to know the list of drugs that are covered. Call Enrollee Services at 1-833-FCC-PLAN or 711 for TDD/TTY.
You may call Enrollee Services to get the following:
- A copy of the Preferred Drug List
- Information about drugs
- Find out if a drug is covered
- Find out how to appeal a decision
Your doctor will work with Florida Community Care to decide which drugs are best for you.
Getting an exception to the Preferred Drug List (PDL)
Drugs not listed on the Preferred Drug List (PDL) are called non‐preferred drugs. For non‐preferred drugs, you have the following options:
- You can ask your physician to order a similar drug that is listed on the Preferred Drug List (PDL).
- You can start the request for exception of a non‐preferred drug, by asking your physician to begin the request for exception process, to see if your non‐preferred drug can be covered by your benefit.
- If you need your case manager’s assistance or have a question about your PDL benefit, you can call Enrollee Services or your case manager at 1-833-FCC-PLAN or 711 for TDD/TTY.
Over-the-Counter Benefit (OTC)
