Preferred Drug List
Your pharmacy benefits are provided by Gainwell Technologies. Gainwell Technologies is the Single Pharmacy Benefit Manager (SPBM) for all Ohio Medicaid members. They cover all Medicaid-covered medically necessary prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications.
Gainwell Technologies uses the Ohio Department of Medicaid’s Unified Preferred Drug List, or UPDL. A PDL is a list of drugs that are preferred for your provider to prescribe. You can find a copy of the UPDL on the Ohio Department of Medicaid website or on the Gainwell Technologies website.
