Pharmacy resources

MedImpact is the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) for all pharmacy claims processing and pharmacy prior authorizations (PAs).

All outpatient drugs, including over-the-counter drugs, are covered under a single Kentucky Preferred Drug List (PDL), also known as a formulary, managed by MedImpact. This does not include physician-administered drugs, which we continue to manage under our enrollees’ medical benefits.

View a list of preferred drugs covered under the KY PDL.

MedImpact manages all PAs. To submit a PA request:

Call MedImpact at 844-336-2676

Fax 858-357-2612

Use the CoverMyMeds®, Surescripts®, or CenterX® ePA online portals

Virtual care (telemedicine) services with MDLIVE

Our enrollees can connect with doctors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via virtual visits with MDLIVE®. All MDLIVE doctors are state-licensed, board-certified experts attending patients virtually.

While enrollees can access this service, we reiterate that there are instances when they should receive in-person care from their PCP and/or a specialist, and when a visit to a retail clinic, urgent care center, or emergency room (ER) is needed.

MDLIVE provides consultation and treatment for a variety of healthcare needs, including cold and flu symptoms, medication adjustments, prescription refills, and skin conditions, without having to see anyone in person.

To get care via MDLIVE, our enrollees can:

Go to MDLIVE*, create an account, and connect with a doctor

Call 844-403-0556 (TTY: 711), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

Download* the MDLIVE mobile app from the App Store® or Google Play®



For more information about MDLIVE, please visit Humana.com/KentuckyVirtualCare.
