Need Help Navigating Pharmacy Prior Authorizations?
Pharmacy Prior Authorizations (PAs) can be a difficult administrative burden for providers and staff, however, they help ensure patients are receiving the most evidence-based, cost-effective medications. The Vendor Drug Program (VDP) is the state resource for the Texas Medicaid formulary and Preferred Drug List (PDL). VDP has provided a very helpful guide to managing pharmacy benefits for your patients.
