What is the coverage status for new medications?
If a new drug is in a class that is subject to the PDL, then it is considered PDL neutral (refer to question #18) and the drug is covered by the program and does not require prior authorization. If a new drug is in a class that is not subject to the PDL, and is not included in the list of non-covered legend drugs at 405 IAC 5-24-3, the drug is covered by the program and does not require prior authorization.
