Preferred Drug List

The LDH Single PDL is a list of medicine Louisiana Medicaid recipients can use if prescribed. A Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee recommends medicine to include on or remove from the PDL. Medicine on the PDL is identified as preferred or nonpreferred and includes information about prior authorization requirements.

Review the current LDH Single PDL

Please note: The LDH Single PDL is not all-inclusive. All medications listed on the single PDL are covered.
