Preferred Drug List Changes
Effective July 1, 2024, the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) has implemented a single state-directed preferred drug list (PDL) for all participating managed care organizations (MCOs) and the fee-for-service (FFS) Medicaid program.
What is the Pharmacy Program?
The pharmacy program provides prescription drug coverage for recipients enrolled in FFS Medicaid and the state's five MCOs. This program allows unlimited monthly prescriptions with zero cost share for Medicaid members.
