Covered Drugs
You get prescription drugs at no cost to you. We cover your medically necessary medicines when filled at a network pharmacy. We also cover some over-the-counter (OTC) medicines with a prescription from your provider.
Generic drugs are drugs that have the same dosage, safety, strength and intended use as a brand-name drug. They usually cost less than brand-name drugs.
We cover all drugs covered by New Mexico Medicaid. New Mexico Medicaid uses a Preferred Drug List (PDL). Our PDL includes both generic and brand-name drugs. It also gives you facts about a drug and lists any restrictions on them. To fill your prescriptions, you must use a network pharmacy. Be sure to take your member ID card with you. Be sure to fill your prescriptions before you travel out of state.
To find a network pharmacy, see our Provider Directory. You can also contact Member Services.
You can get rides at no cost to you for your non emergent health care appointments. Contact Superior Medical Transport at (833) 707-7100 (TTY:711) from Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. MST. Please contact us at least three (3) business days before your healthcare appointment to make sure you get the ride you need.
When you contact Superior to schedule a trip, have these things ready:
- Your Molina ID number
- Your first and last name
- Your home address including ZIP code for the pick-up
- The name, address, and ZIP code for the healthcare provider you’ll see
