Gainwell is the SPBA that will help you with your prescription drug needs. Call Gainwell Member Services at (800) 884-3222,24 hours a day, 7 days a week if:

  • You need to ask about a drug.

Unified Preferred Drug List

Gainwell uses The Mississippi Division of Medicaid (DOM)’s universal preferred drug list (PDL) for all MississippiCAN (MSCAN) and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) members. 

The PDL is a list of prescription drugs that are recommended for doctors to use.

All Coordinated Care Organizations use the same Universal Preferred Drug List to help prescribers and members know which drugs are covered with or without prior approval.

Using one drug list across all managed care plans and Fee-for-Service helps prescribers and members know which drugs are covered with or without prior approval.
