Maryland has been working for several months on integration of “behavioral health services” with “somatic care.”  The MPS Behavioral Health Integration Workgroup (BHI Workgroup) has contributed actively to the deliberations with the DHMH and other stakeholders.

 

 The Maryland Medicaid Program issued a new Preferred Drug List effective October 1, 2009. To view the updated list, please visit http://www.dhmh.state.md.us/mma/mpap/druglist.html. Please note that in a very small number of cases, the generic drug is not preferred and requires authorization through MedWatch, or the brand is also preferred and does not require authorization. Please direct questions or concerns to 410-767-1455.
