I. INTRODUCTION
1. This Preferred Drug List (PDL) was updated as of 7/30/2015. It is subject to change without notice. If you choose
to print out/photocopy the PDL, please refer to the CCHP website for the most up to date version before making
prescribing decisions. You will need Acrobat Reader to download the PDL.
You may wish to bookmark the URL below for both the CCHP PDL and the “Medication Prior Authorization Request”
form:
http://cchealth.org/health_plan/pdl.php
2. To search this PDL: in addition to referring to the Table of Contents and Index, use “Control F” or the binoculars
icon, and type in the drug name.
3. For Prior Authorization forms please call 925-957-7260 (option 2). The Medication Prior Authorization form is
also available from the website address listed in #1 above.
The PDL is a listing of “Preferred” first line drugs. If you have clinical reasons to choose a second line
agent, please provide complete clinical information to expedite the processing of your Medication Prior
Authorization Request.
4. This is only a listing of preferred medications. Listing in the PDL is not a guarantee of payment. There are
many different levels of coverage and members should refer to their “Evidence of Coverage” (EOC) for information
about co-pays, and exclusions to coverage for their specific situation. Most Over The Counter (OTC) medication is
not covered, except where specified. Medication Supplies and Devices are not included in this list.

3. Urgent PAs are processed within 4 hours if the clinical information is complete. For an emergency medication
during off hours pharmacists can give up to a 5 day supply (at their discretion) before receiving the PA approval.
We will monitor Urgent PA requests to make sure they are appropriately urgent.
4. Routine PAs are processed as quickly as possible. The usual reason for a delay is lack of adequate clinical
information. We will call, page or fax you if we receive a prescription for a non-preferred drug without adequate
medical justification. If you do not provide medical necessity for a non-preferred drug or if we do not hear back
from you within five business days, the Rx may be modified or denied.
5. C1 (Code 1) are non-preferred drugs with criteria that can be satisfied without a PA. Some criteria such as “tried
and failed <drug name> Rx” can be written on the prescription. Other criteria, such as “under 12 years old”, can
be identified by the pharmacist.
6. Basic Health Care (BHC) patients must use the following Walgreens pharmacies to fill their prescriptions:
