WellCare of North Carolina

Pharmacy Services

WellCare of North Carolina Will Pay for the Drugs that Medicaid Requires You to Have.

It is also important to know that WellCare of North Carolina uses a Preferred Drug List (PDL).

• The PDL is a list of drugs that we prefer your doctor use
• The drugs on the PDL are organized by brand and generic name
• Quantity, gender and age limits are also provided 
• Some drugs require step therapy - the use of other drugs first before they will be approved. These are noted with an "ST" (Step Therapy)
• Some of these drugs require a review and are noted with a "PA" (Prior Authorization).

Find a drug by searching our online tool or viewing/printing a PDL
