About Humana Healthy Horizons in Louisiana

Humana Healthy Horizons in Louisiana members get prescription drug coverage through Prime Therapeutics State Government Solutions pharmacy benefit manager (PBM).

Prime Therapeutics State Government Solutions PBM provides pharmacy benefits for all Medicaid recipients in Louisiana. The Louisiana Department of Health utilizes a single Preferred Drug List (PDL).

The PDL includes some preferred brands, as well as preferred diabetic supplies, such as blood glucose strips, lancets, meters, and syringes. The Louisiana Department of Health will notify providers if the PDL changes.

Medication on the PDL may have a small copayment for members 21 and older, based on calculated state payment(s). However, there are no copayments for medication on the PDL for the following types of members:

  • Alaskan Eskimos
  • Members 20 and younger
  • Members receiving hospice services
  • Members receiving services on the basis of breast or cervical cancer diagnoses
  • Members who are inpatients in long-term care facilities or other institutions

Medication Therapy Management

Humana offers a Medication Therapy Management (MTP) program that helps ensure your eligible patients achieve the best possible outcomes from their medications. The patient-centered MTM program promotes collaboration among the pharmacist, patient, and prescriber to optimize safe and effective medication use. The goal of this program is to optimize therapeutic outcomes by focusing on safety, effectiveness, lower-cost alternatives, and adherence.

Prescribers with questions about the program may call 1-888-210-8622 (TTY: 711), Monday – Friday, from 7 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Pharmacy lock-in program

The lock-in program is designed for individuals enrolled in Medicaid in Louisiana who need help managing their use of prescription medications. The Louisiana Department of Health requires us to use a lock-in program to help limit overuse of benefits, reduce unnecessary costs to Medicaid, and provide an appropriate level of care for our members.

Humana Healthy Horizons® in Louisiana members who meet lock-in program criteria will be locked into one pharmacy and/or one prescriber (group). A specialty pharmacy will be added on an as needed basis.

To identify members who meet lock-in program criteria, we monitor claims activity for signs of misuse or abuse in accordance with state and federal laws. If this review reveals an unusually large number of controlled-substance prescriptions or misuse of prescriptions, we will notify the member in writing of their enrollment in the lock-in program and provide the designated lock-in pharmacy and/or prescriber (group) information.

Over-the-counter health and wellness

Humana Healthy Horizons in Louisiana members have an expanded pharmacy benefit, which provides up to $25 per calendar month allowance to spend on over-the-counter (OTC) medicine, like pain relievers, diaper rash cream, cough and cold medicine, and first-aid supplies.

These items will be sent by mail within 10-14 working days of receiving a member’s order. Members do not pay shipping charges.

If you have questions about this mail-order service, call CenterWell Pharmacy™ at 1-855-211-8370 (TTY: 711), Monday – Friday, from 7 a.m. – 10 p.m., and Saturday, from 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
