Magnolia is committed to providing appropriate, high quality, and cost effective drug therapy to all Magnolia members. Magnolia works with providers and pharmacists to ensure that medications used to treat a variety of conditions and diseases are covered. Magnolia covers prescription medications and certain over-the-counter medications when ordered by a Magnolia provider. The pharmacy program does not cover all medications. Some require prior authorization or have limitations on age, dosage, and maximum quantities.

Preferred Drug List

The Magnolia Preferred Drug List (PDL) is the list of covered drugs. The Magnolia PDL is continually evaluated by the Magnolia Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee to promote the appropriate and cost-effective use of medications.

Prior Authorization

Some medications listed on the Magnolia PDL may require prior authorization. All reviews are performed by a licensed clinical pharmacist using the criteria established by the Magnolia P&T Committee. If Magnolia does not grant prior authorization we will notify you and your patient and provide information regarding the appeal process.
