List of Covered Drugs

Restrictions to Coverage and Coverage Exceptions

Restrictions to coverage apply for certain prescription drugs. The Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee develops restrictions to help our members use drugs in the most safe and effective ways. Some restrictions impact overall drug cost, which keeps our members' drug coverage more affordable. Other restrictions are designed to promote safe use of particular agents, such as opioids. If you need assistance with the drug exception request process, please contact L.A. Care Member Services, Provider line 866-522-2736.

You may also find the Medicare Prescription Drug Determination Request Form, specific to L.A. Care Medicare Plus members by visiting the Prescription Drug Prior Authorizations page.
