Download PDF
The purpose of this update is to notify providers of the revisions to Chapter IV and Appendix D in the pharmacy manual and the addition of the new Appendix E to the pharmacy provider manual which lists the drugs which may be dispensed as a 90 day supply.
Appendix D includes information regarding updates to the Virginia Medicaid’s Preferred Drug List (PDL) or Common Core Formulary (CCF) and fee-for-service (FFS) drug service authorization requirements for drugs reviewed by the Department’s Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee and the Drug Utilization Review (DUR) Board. This revision includes changes to the CCF and FFS drug service authorizations since the previous update on 12/21/2021, as well as the addition of changes to the DMAS 90 day list.
Appendix E has been added to provide the current 90-day list in the pharmacy manual.
Chapter IV: Covered Services and Limitations has been updated to include information on tribal facility payments.
