PDL and Prior Authorization

NCPA’s Executive Council convened a task force in 2015 on prior authorizations (PAs) and the Medicaid preferred drug list (PDL) in response to members’ concerns about the ever-increasing number of prior authorizations being required by insurers. We've compiled several resources to assist with PAs (including appeals) and have developed guidelines for responsible prescribing.
