Changes coming to our medical plan drug lists
Starting January 1, 2026, we’re making changes to our medical plan drug lists. These changes support our commitment to high quality, cost-effective health care.
It’s likely some of your patients are taking these drugs. Patients with current prior authorizations (PA) will not be impacted until their existing PA expires. We will also notify your impacted patients of these changes and suggested they talk to you about changing to a preferred alternative drug, if appropriate, as their PAs expire.
