Preferred Drug List. Some brand-named medicines are preferred over generic medicines.

There are some drugs that are not listed on the preferred drug list but may still be covered. Use the Searchable Comprehensive Drug List to find out which medications are covered.

90-day medication supply

To improve medication adherence for maintenance medications, Select Health implemented a 90-day medication supply program.

Look up medications using our Searchable Comprehensive Drug List to see which qualify for a 90-day supply.

Pharmacists are encouraged to work with providers in order to obtain a 90 day prescription for those members who are on medications that qualify for a 90 day supply.

This program will benefit members by allowing them to obtain a three month supply of medication at each pharmacy visit. Pharmacies will be given two dispensing fees for all 90-day prescriptions filled as part of this program.

Contact the Pharmacy Customer Services Department if you have any questions or concerns about this initiative at 1.888-610-2773.
