Medications

Columbia Pacific pays for many prescription drugs.

Columbia Pacific pays for many prescription drugs. The ones we cover are on a drug list called a “formulary.” When your provider prescribes a medicine, ask if it’s on the covered drug list. The list is a directory of medications approved for Columbia Pacific CCO members. It explains if there are special rules about the drug. The list is updated often, so if we remove or change a medication that you take, you’ll be notified in advance. To download and view the drug list, click the link below.

New specialty pharmacy program

Columbia Pacific CCO is launching a new program to help Medicaid members who take certain specialty medications. Some specialty medications may now come from a different pharmacy that can better meet your needs. You can find a list of these medications here.

If your pharmacy changes, the new pharmacy will call you when you get a new prescription or need a refill. Your medication will stay the same. The name, brand, and amount will not change. If you already get your medication by mail, you can keep getting it that way. Your pharmacy benefits will not change. 

For more information, see our FAQs below. For questions about the program, please call customer service at 855-722-8206 or TTY 711, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

MEDS Chart

It can be a real challenge keeping up with lots of prescriptions all at once. More and more people have ten, a dozen, 20 or more. It can be hard to keep them all straight, and even harder to tell your doctor when there’s something about your medications that you don’t like. CareOregon’s My Easy Drug System (MEDS) is a tested way to make sure your medications are working as a positive part of your health care plan.

The MEDS Chart helps you remember why you’re taking a medication, and let others know how you feel it’s working for you:
