Commonwealth of Virginia Medicaid Program
Medicaid and FAMIS Preferred Drug List 2015
Last Update: 4/07/2015
This is a list of preferred drugs for Medicaid and FAMIS members under Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of
the Mid-Atlantic States, Inc. This list is approved by the Kaiser Permanente Mid-Atlantic States Pharmacy
and Therapeutics Committee. The preferred drug list has closed classes for which only the drugs listed
within the classes are covered. Generally, Kaiser Permanente will only approve a request for a nonpreferred drug if your prescribing doctor considers the drug to be medically necessary. If a non-preferred
drug is not medically necessary, but you want the non-preferred drug, you will be responsible for paying
the full cost of the drug.
The preferred drug list is only for outpatient and self-administered drugs. It is not for those used in
hospitals (inpatient settings), doctor’s offices, or infusion centers.
The preferred drug list does not provide detailed information on your Medicaid coverage. For additional
information regarding your pharmacy benefits, please call Member Services at 855-249-5025 from 7:30 a.m.
to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Generic, brand name, and non-preferred medications
Kaiser Permanente has brand and generic drugs on the preferred drug list. A generic drug is approved by
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because it has the same active ingredient as the brand-name
drug. In most cases, your doctor will prescribe a generic drug if one is available.
Brand-name drugs are made and sold by the pharmaceutical company that originally researched and
developed the drug. When the patent on a brand name drug expires, other pharmaceutical
companies may then make and sell the FDA-approved generic version of the drug.
Drug Efficacy Study Implementation (DESI) Drugs
DESI drugs were first marketed between 1938 and 1962 were approved as safe but required no showing of
effectiveness for FDA approval. Beginning in 1962, all new drugs were required to be both safe and effective
before being marketed. Kaiser Permanente does not pay for DESI classified drugs or drugs identical, similar,
or related to DESI products.

How to use the preferred drug list document
Drugs available in generic form are listed by their generic name. Unless the drug has multiple brand names,
drugs available only in brand name are in BOLD and in all CAPITAL letters.
You can search the preferred drug list by using the “FIND” function in Adobe Reader (CTRL + F), or by
the therapeutic drug category.
All dosages and strengths for a drug may not be in the preferred drug list. Some drugs are available in
more than one dosage form (for example, tablet and injectable)
Please remember that this list will be updated on a monthly basis without prior notification. Any drug
not found on this list or in later updates is a non-preferred drug.
Restrictions on medication coverage:
Some covered drugs may have additional requirements or limits on coverage. Requirements and limits may
include:
• Limited Distribution: Some drugs may be subject to limited distribution or restricted
access. A drug that is a limited distribution drug may only be available at one or a
limited number of pharmacies
• Prior Authorization: For some drugs, Kaiser Permanente will cover the medication if
certain criteria are met. To obtain additional information regarding drugs that require
Prior Authorization and the Prior Authorization Process, please contact Member Services
at 855-249-5025.
• Quantity Limit: For certain drugs, Kaiser Permanente limits the amount of medication
dispensed to a certain quantity per copay.
Key:
LD = A drug that may be subject to limited distribution
PA = A drug that needs prior authorization.
QL = A drug that has a quantity limit or is limited to a specific day supply.
