Amerigroup Medication Formulary
Applies to the Washington Medicaid Market
The medications included in the Amerigroup formulary are reviewed and approved by the Amerigroup Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee,
which includes practitioners and pharmacists from the Amerigroup provider community. Medications not listed in the formulary are considered
to be non-formulary and are subject to prior authorization. Some medications listed may have additional requirements or limitations of coverage.
These requirements and limits may include prior authorization, quantity limits, age limits or step therapy. Additionally, if a medication is available
as a generic formulation, this will be Amerigroup's preferred agent, unless otherwise noted. If a brand name medication is requested when a
generic exists, a prior authorization request will need to be submitted. If you have any questions about coverage of a certain product, please
contact us at 1-800-454-3730. In order to request prior authorization, the provider or member must contact the Amerigroup pharmacy department
at 1-800-454-3730. Providers should be prepared to provide relevant clinical information that supports medical necessity of the requested medication.
