Summary

Nevada Medicaid's Silver State Scripts Board made extensive changes to their Preferred Drug List effective November 1, 2025, moving many brand-name medications to non-preferred status while promoting their generic equivalents to preferred status. Multiple drug classes were affected including anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, insulins, and various other therapeutic categories, with some products removed entirely due to discontinuation or loss of Medicaid rebate participation.
