  Preferred Drug List Process

 


Upon determination of classes to be reviewed, the department announces the review to the affected manufacturers by E-mail, based on the department’s official Manufacturer Contact List, and posts an announcement on the department’s Web site. The department establishes a review schedule and will announce a due date for offers when the class announcement is made. During the review period, the department’s clinical contractor reviews clinical factors and makes recommendations to the department. Upon receipt of the clinical recommendations, the department then makes PDL recommendations based upon clinical considerations and financial analysis. Those recommendations are presented to the Illinois State Medical Society Committee on Drugs and Therapeutics for their review and recommendations. After the Committee on Drugs and Therapeutics makes their recommendations, the department announces the Preferred Drug List decisions.
