January 5, 2026

Effective January 1, 2026, the Department of Human Services (DHS) made changes to the Medical Assistance prescription drug benefit. This change applies to all Pennsylvania Medicaid plans, including Health Partners Plans Medicaid.

We invite you to join our upcoming Open Forum session designed to address any questions you may have regarding the 2026 PDL updates. These changes were previously communicated and discussed during our Q4 Annual Provider Training on December 10, 2025.

This session serves as a follow-up opportunity for you to share your experiences and provide feedback. You are welcome to drop in at your convenience to ask questions and engage in discussion on the following topics:

  • Biosimilars
  • Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) Inhibitors
