Florida Medicaid Preferred Drug List
Upon recommendations by the P&T committee, established pursuant to s. 409.91195, the Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) shall establish the Florida Medicaid Preferred Drug List (PDL).
The Florida Medicaid PDL, shall be a listing of cost-effective, safe and clinically efficient medications for each of the therapeutic classes on the list.
Providers and recipients can access the PDL to be informed of medications that can be prescribed without requiring prior authorization documentation. However, clinicians retain the option of prescribing drugs not on the PDL, pursuant to s. 409.912(8).
