HHSC Seeking Input on Proposed Medicaid, CHIP Formulary, PDL, and PA Management Transition Policy

Last updated on

Section 533.005 of the Texas Government Code currently requires Medicaid and CHIP managed care organizations (MCOs) to exclusively use the Vendor Drug Program (VDP) formulary, Preferred Drug List (PDL), and prior authorization requirements found in Sec. 531.073 (b), (c), and (g).

This statute expires on August 31, 2023. On September 1, 2023, management of these functions will transfer to each MCO.

HHSC seeks public input on draft contract requirements for this transition.

Stakeholders may submit comments via survey until Dec. 4, 2022.
