PacificSource Drug Lists
The PacificSource Preferred Drug List and Value Drug List are guides to excellent values on brand name prescription drugs. They will help your doctor identify medications that can provide the best clinical results at the lowest cost.
To find out which list applies to your pharmacy plan, check your Summary of Benefits—available online through your InTouch account or from your benefits administrator.
Most drug lists are reviewed and updated monthly. To see what changes have been made recently, please visit our Drug News page.
- PacificSource PDL (Preferred Drug List)—applies to PacificSource pharmacy plans that have PDL listed in the Preferred Drugs section of the plan’s Summary of Benefits. This list includes approximately 430 preferred brand name prescription medications and is updated monthly.
- PacificSource VDL (Value Drug List)—applies to our Tiered Value prescription drug plan and any pharmacy plan that has the VDL listed in the Preferred Drugs section of the Summary of Benefits. This list includes approximately 120 preferred brand name prescription medications and is updated monthly.
- Alternatives for nonpreferred drugs—Find lower-cost alternatives for prescription medications that are not on the PacificSource PDL.

- Step Therapy list—Step Therapy is a program that requires lower-cost alternative medications ("Step 1" drugs) to be tried before using more expensive medications ("Step 2" drugs). The program will only cover brand or "second-line" medications if less expensive "first-line" and/or generic medications in the same therapeutic class have been tried first.
Our Incentive Drug List applies to all Incentive Drug prescription plans. This list includes certain drugs that are available for the incentive copay shown on the Incentive Drug Summary of Benefits.
