Check the List of Covered Medicines
Some Medicines need pre-approval from Medi-Cal Rx before you can get them.
Enter the name of a medicine in the search field to find out if it is on the list of covered medicines.
If you and/or your doctor strongly believe you need to keep taking a specific medicine that is not on Medi-Cal Rx’s list and your case is not moving forward, call HPSM and we will try to help.
If you are on a medicine that needs pre-approval, your doctor or pharmacy will have to fill out a form and get approval when you refill your prescription. Your doctor might also talk to you about changing to a similar medicine that doesn’t need pre-approval. Your doctor and pharmacy will know about this change.
