Statewide Preferred Drug List
Geisinger Health Plan (GHP) follows the Statewide Preferred Drug List (PDL), which is developed by the Department of Human Services’ Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee. Medications not on the PDL follow the GHP Family formulary.
Some drugs require a copay, which is the amount you pay at the pharmacy when receiving your medications. You can’t be denied medication if you can’t afford the copay. Let your pharmacist know if you can't pay, although they can still try to collect it.
Adults
Children
The following members do not have to pay co-payments:
Health insurance plan formularies are regularly updated, like when new drugs are added or a drug is recalled.
These changes are listed in our GHP member newsletters, or you can check this page whenever you’d like.
If we remove drugs from our formulary, or add prior authorization, quantity limits and/or step therapy restrictions on a drug or move a drug to a higher cost-sharing tier, we must notify affected members of the change (30 days for employer coverage and GHP Family; 60 days for other plans) before the change becomes effective.
Drugs declared unsafe by the FDA or withdrawn by the manufacturer are immediately removed from the formulary, and affected members are notified.
Some drugs require prior approval from GHP Family. Your prescriber must get this approval before the prescription can be filled. GHP Family will not cover the drug without approval.
If prior authorization is needed:
Option 1
If your medication isn’t on the Statewide Preferred Drug List or GHP Family formulary, you can share the lists with your doctor. They can tell if you if there’s an alternative that will work for you.

Are you a new member? You may be taking medicine that isn’t on our formulary. Or maybe you’re taking one that is on our formulary, but it requires prior authorization.
Either way, you may need approval from GHP Family to get a drug that’s not listed on the formulary. Talk with your doctor to decide if you should switch to an appropriate formulary drug or request a formulary exception. While you find your best option, we will approve the service and honor the amount, duration/frequency and scope of the services for up to 60 days for members 21 and older. For members younger than 21, approval will be given for the course of treatment.
