Summary
This is a correction to a Pennsylvania Medicaid Preferred Drug List update that incorrectly listed Prilosec Suspension as preferred when it should remain non-preferred. The correction affects the Proton Pump Inhibitors drug class and provides the updated preferred/non-preferred status for several PPI medications.
Action Required
Review current prior authorization workflows for Proton Pump Inhibitor medications to ensure Prilosec Suspension requires prior authorization as a non-preferred drug. Update any internal drug formulary references to reflect correct preferred/non-preferred status for PPIs listed in the bulletin.
