State of Alaska | Health Care, Preferred Drug List Committee

Of Interest

Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee

A team of Alaskan doctors and pharmacists appointed to a committee by then Commissioner Joel Gilbertson, is working with the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services. These experts are reviewing drug classes for the Department's Medicaid program. They are identifying which drugs are safe, effective, and which drugs cost less than other drugs in the same class. Medicaid enrolled physicians are being asked to prescribe drugs that have been given “preferred status” by this committee.
