When you have full MaineCare coverage, you can get prescription drugs paid for with your pharmacy benefit.
Preferred Drug List
See MaineCare's Preferred Drug List (PDL) for a list of medications your doctor can prescribe. Drugs listed as “Preferred” generally do not need a prior authorization (PA). Drugs listed as “Non-Preferred” will need a PA from your provider.
Copayments
You may need to pay for part of the cost of your prescription drug. What you pay is called a copayment, or copay.
For more information about prior authorizations, and to see what you may pay for a copay your prescription drug, visit our Coverage and Benefits webpage.
Mail Order Pharmacies
You can get brand name or generic drugs from mail order pharmacies that are approved by MaineCare. Mail order saves you time and money. You can get a 90-day supply of most generic and brand name drugs delivered to your mailbox. When you order drugs through the mail you will not be charged a copay.
