Find A Pharmacy
Use the Find a Pharmacy tool to find a pharmacy near you. While we cover all medically necessary Medicaid-covered medications, we use a Preferred Drug List (PDL). These are drugs we would like your provider to prescribe.
Specialty Pharmacy
Most specialty drugs need a prior authorization (PA) before you can get them. PA may be needed if:
- There is a generic or drugstore alternative drug.
- The drug can be misused or abused.
- There are other drugs that must be tried first.
Some drugs have limits on how much can be given at once. Talk with your provider about a PA and if any of your medications will need it. Please call us if you have any questions.
Georgia Lock-In Program (GA LIP)
GA LIP is a health and safety program which protects members whose use of services exceeds medical necessity. Use of controlled substances is monitored, and members are assigned designated providers. GA LIP members must get their medicines filled at one pharmacy and use their primary care provider for medical care.
