Temporary Change in Status for Topical Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs Class effective April 13, 2020

FirstCare has implemented the temporarily revised preferred drug list on April 13,2020, to address reported possible drug shortages of products in the Topical Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory drug class. The change allows providers to prescribe these drugs without requiring a non-preferred prior authorization and people enrolled in Medicaid continued access to necessary medication.
