July Preferred Drug List Updates

Date: 07/13/20

Sunrise, Florida

Starting on July 1, 2020, there will be changes to the Preferred Drug List (PDL). Drugs on this list may need a prior authorization, which means you need approval from Sunshine Health before you fill your drug. Some drugs may need step therapy, which means you must try one drug first before you can try another drug. Other drugs are not on the list because they are not a preferred option.
