TennCare is continuing the process of reviewing all covered drug classes. Changes to the PDL (preferred drug list) may occur as new classes are reviewed, and previously reviewed classes are revisited. As a result of these changes, some medications your patients are now taking may be considered non-preferred agents in the future. Please inform your patients who are on these medications that switching to preferred products will decrease delays in receiving their medications. We encourage you to share this information with other TennCare providers. The individual changes to the PDL have been in this notice. The new PDL will be posted April 1, 2024. For details on clinical criteria, please visit OptumRx-TennCare.
