The Blue KC Medical and Pharmacy Management Committee reviews and maintains the Prescription Drug List (PDL). The Committee, consisting of practicing physicians and pharmacists in the Kansas City area, holds quarterly meetings to evaluate new drug therapies and review drug utilization issues. Medications are evaluated based on drug safety and costs.

The July 1, 2022, PDL change only applies to groups that are on the Preferred and Premium formulary (this does NOT impact small group ACA). Group-specific benefit exceptions may apply.
