Kentucky Pharmacy Preferred Drug List
Effective September 12, 2012
GENERAL DEFINITION OF TERMS
1ST Tier Medications ($) – Typically preferred generic medications. A generic medication is identified by its chemical name, while a
manufacturer assigns a brand name. Also, the price of the generic medication is usually lower than that of a brand name medication.
Both generic and brand name medications may require PA.
2nd Tier Medications ($$) – Typically preferred brand medications. Preferred brand medications may have generic equivalents.
Once a branded medication is available as a generic alternative, the branded medication may move to non-preferred status and the
generic medication may become the preferred medication. Some Tier 2 medications may require PA.
3rd Tier Medications ($$$) – Typically, branded medications which are not 1st or 2nd Tier. Non-preferred medications are usually
available at the highest copay tier for members. Prior authorization is required for all non-preferred medications.
Clinical Criteria (CC) – Due to the nature of some medications, prior authorization may be required for the medication to be covered
at any copay tier. Medications that require prior authorization will require that certain clinical criteria be met. Medications may
require the use of preferred medications (subject to PDL), in addition to satisfying appropriate clinical criteria, before approval
(prior authorization) can be considered. If a medication requires PA, the ordering physician should contact Magellan Medicaid
Administration, the plan’s pharmacy benefit administrator. Also, prescriptions exceeding such plan limitations as Quantity Limits
(QL), Step Therapy (ST), Maximum Duration (MD), Age Edit (AE), in addition to those subject to Clinical Criteria (CC), will also
require PA.
Step Therapy (ST) – Step therapy is an electronic PA process that takes place at t he time the pharmacy submits the claim. For
example, in the case of medications considered “second-line” agents, the system will look at the member’s paid claims history, and if
a claim(s) for the required “first-line” medication(s) is located, the system will approve the claim. If “first-line” medication(s) are not
located, the system will not approve the claim, and will return a message to the pharmacy advising that the Step Therapy protocol
has not been satisfied and prior authorization is required. At that time, the pharmacy may contact the physician and request that
they contact Magellan Medicaid Administration for PA.
Quantity Limits (QL) – Quantity limits have been placed on medications to be consistent with the maximum dosage that the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved to be both safe and effective. Medications where the quantity exceed the FDA’s
maximum daily dose will require PA. Prescriptions exceeding plan limitations will require PA.
Medication with Maximum Duration (MD) – Medications indicated will be available for a defined period of days per rolling year
(365 days) before requiring a new or additional PA.
Age Edit (AE) – Medications indicated are available for members above or below XX age without PA.
Maintenance Drugs – Maintenance medications in the following classes can be processed for up to a 92 day supply and 100 units:
Antianginals
Antiarrhythmics
Antiarthritics
Antidiabetics
Antihypertensives
Cardiac Glycosides
