Drug Coverage Information

Your benefits include a wide range of prescription drugs. The Nevada Medicaid plan also covers many over-the-counter (OTC) medicines with a prescription from your doctor. We have a preferred drug list that shows which drugs are in your plan.

Preferred Drug List (PDL)

We have a list of commonly prescribed drugs your doctor can choose from. It's called a Preferred Drug List (PDL). Covered drugs include prescription drugs and certain over-the-counter (OTC) medicines.

There are no copays for drugs listed on the PDL when you have a prescription from your doctor. Your benefit includes many OTC medicines when you have a prescription from your doctor.

Your doctor may need to get preapproval from us for certain drugs. You'll also need preapproval for brand-name drugs when generics are available. Your doctor's request should tell us why a specific drug is needed and how much is needed.

Searchable formulary

The formulary is a list of all brand-name and generic drugs available in your plan. It lists all the drugs found on the PDL, plus others. All drugs on the formulary are covered, but many require preapproval before the prescription can be filled.

Find your medicine

Use our searchable formulary to find brand-name and generic drugs that are listed on your PDL.

You can search for your drug by doing any of the following:

Typing the name (at least first three letters) of the drug in the search box.

Using the A to Z list to search by the first letter of your drug.

Clicking on the therapeutic class of the drug.

How to get your prescriptions

Getting your prescriptions filled is easy. Simply take your written prescription to a plan pharmacy or ask your doctor to call it in. Be sure to show the pharmacy your Anthem member ID card.

It's good to use the same pharmacy every time you fill a prescription. That way, your pharmacists will know about problems that could occur when you’re taking more than one drug. If you use more than one pharmacy, you should tell each pharmacist about all the medicines you're taking.
