Medicaid Formularies
The retail prescription benefit is an important component of our member’s comprehensive treatment program. The goal of the Upper Peninsula Health Plan (UPHP) is to provide our members rational, clinically appropriate, and cost effective pharmaceutical care.
The UPHP Medicaid-CSHCS-Healthy Michigan formularies are aligned with the MDHHS (Michigan Department of Health and Human Services) Common Formulary for all contracted health plans in the State of Michigan per the Comprehensive Health Plan contract. An MCO Common Formulary Workgroup of representatives from contracted health plans provides recommendations to MDHHS on drugs to be included on the MDHHS Common Formulary. MDHHS has final approval authority for MDHHS Common Formulary coverage. UPHP’s formulary cannot be more restrictive than the coverage parameters of the MDHHS Common Formulary, but may be less restrictive in some instances.
