Prescription medications

We cover the prescription medications on our formulary/preferred drug list or PDL (PDF) If your patient needs medication, you’ll want to check the right list for:

  • Quantity or age limits 

  • Updates

These lists can change, so check them regularly. If a medication isn’t on the formulary, you can: 

  • Prescribe a similar one that’s on the list 

  • Get PA for coverage

Check the information that follows to learn about drug lists for each plan. Still not sure if we cover a specific medication? Just contact us. We can check it for you. 

 

You can download the formulary/preferred drug list or PDL (PDF) or check it online with the formulary search tool. 

You can also see a list of over-the-counter products (PDF) we cover.

In emergencies, we may be able to provide a limited supply for medications that aren’t on these lists.

These lists are based on the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS)-approved drug list. The medications are generally covered under the plan when medically necessary. Members can fill their prescriptions at any network pharmacy.

You’ll want to review these preferred drug lists for any restrictions or recommendations before prescribing medication to members of Mercy Care ACC-RBHA with SMI.

Members can choose delivery to their home, provider’s office or other convenient location. They can also call CVS Specialty pharmacy at 1-800-237-2767 (TTY 711) with questions.

 

  • If you bill through members’ medical insurance (your practice purchases the specialty medications): Contact us by plan to start PA for the requested specialty medication. 

  • If you bill through members’ pharmacy benefit directly: Complete the right PA form. You can find PA forms in the next section. Then, fax the form to the number on the form.

Pharmacy PA

Some prescriptions require PA from Mercy Care before members can fill them. We’ll review requests for medications requiring PA based on the PA guidelines and criteria for that medication.

 

We may need more information on a case-by-case basis to allow for adequate review.

We can also fax you the right form. Just contact us by plan.

By fax: Print the right PA form and fax it to the number at the top of each form. Be sure to include your supporting clinical notes.
