Getting Prescriptions
How do you get your prescriptions?
- Go to a pharmacy that is signed up with Passport Health Plan
and give them your prescription.
- Show them your Passport Health Plan ID card and your Medicaid
ID card
*See your Primary Care Provider & Direct Access Services
Directory for the names of pharmacies near you. Member Services
can also help you find a pharmacy near you.
General information about your prescriptions:
- You will get no more than a 30 day supply of any drug at one
time.
- If a generic form of the medicine is available it will be given
to you.
- Some over-the-counter medicines may be covered with a prescription.
The medicine must be part of your treatment plan.
- Some of you may be asked to pay a $1.00 copay for each prescription,
including over-the-counter medicines. See the “Copays and
Premiums” sheet in the back of this Handbook.
- Some medications may require prior authorization
Where can you find a list of covered drugs?
The complete list of covered drugs is posted on the Passport Health
Plan web site:
www.passporthealthplan.com. You may also call Member Services for
this list. Because new medicines come out all the time, we update
the list of covered drugs regularly

these prescriptions. If you have questions call Medicaid’s
