1 What is the MedImpact Preferred Drug List (PDL)? The PDL is a list of commonly prescribed medications within select classes of drugs covered by your prescription drug plan. The PDL was created to promote clinically appropriate utilization of medications in a cost-effective manner. Who decides what medications make up the PDL? The list is developed and maintained by a committee comprised of physicians and pharmacists (the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee). Inclusion on the list is based on consideration of a medication s safety, effectiveness and associated clinical outcomes. Are the medications listed on the PDL the only drugs my physician can prescribe for me? No. The PDL is a select list of commonly prescribed drugs and does not represent all preferred formulary medications available under your plan. The PDL does not limit your prescription coverage, but is provided to encourage the use of preferred generic and brand name drugs within major therapeutic drug classes (e.g., Cardiovascular, Diabetes, etc.). For complete formulary information, visit your Plan website or refer to the phone number listed on your benefit card. How do I get the greatest benefit from my PDL? Print out the Preferred Drug List and take it with you when visiting your physician. Ask your physician to prescribe generic medications whenever possible. All FDA approved generic drugs are considered preferred medications and should reduce your copays. When there is more than one brand name drug available for your medical condition, ask your physician to prescribe a preferred drug listed on your PDL. This should also reduce your copays. Please note: The MedImpact PDL is subject to change due to updates and availability of generic alternatives. Please refer to the MedImpact web site at for the most up-to-date PDL. The PDL is not a complete list of formulary drugs; therefore, you should refer to your plan for a complete drug list and details of any additional coverage or quantity limit restrictions that may apply to certain medications.
