You can also do a formulary search, find a pharmacy, or get more info about medications.
Need prior authorization (PA)? This means getting approval from your health plan first. Just ask your provider to fill out a pharmacy PA form. Or they can call MedImpact at 1-844-336-2676 (TTY: 711).
OTC Medications
Kentucky Medicaid covers certain over-the-counter (OTC) medications that don’t need a prescription.
For coverage at no cost, you need a prescription from your health care provider.
Check the list of covered OTC medications (PDF).
Ask your health care provider to review the list to confirm coverage. Remember to check with your prescriber or pharmacist before taking these medications.

Get medications and refills
Need medication? Your provider will write you a prescription for one on the Statewide PDL. You’ll want to:
- Ask your provider to make sure the medication is on the Statewide PDL
- Take your prescription to a Medicaid-enrolled pharmacy
- Show your plan member ID card at the pharmacy
Need refills? Your medication label notes how many refills you have. A few days before you run out of medication, call your pharmacy to place a refill order. If the pharmacy doesn’t have any refills left and you need more medication, check with your provider. They may want to see you before prescribing refills.
