Ohio Drug Search Help

The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) Drug Look Up Tool helps provide additional information on Medicaid drug coverage. Please Note: This site should be used for REFERENCE ONLY. It is not to be used to verify payment of a particular product by Ohio Medicaid. Co-payment information is given for informational purposes only, as some consumers are exempt from co-payments. Coverage, co-payment and price per unit should be based on the response received from the pharmacy claims processor and not solely on the information on this site. Information provided on this page is regularly updated and should only be viewed as a reference for the date listed on the search results page.

Prior Authorization Required
Prior Authorization Required indicates whether the medication requires prior authorization before it will be paid by ODM. It should be noted that certain medications may have additional limitations in place for coverage (e.g., age, gender, dose, etc.) and may require a prior authorization when the prescribing falls outside of these limits. For those medications where YES is indicated, additional information from a provider may be needed before the medication can be processed.
