•  Epclusa will be preferred for treatment of Hepatitis C.  Class criteria applied to all Hepatitis C treatments can be found at http://www.wymedicaid.org/pa. 

• Zinbryta will be non-preferred in the multiple sclerosis category, requiring trial and failure of two agents from different classes.  This requirement is in line with its labeled indication as it has significant safety concerns requiring a REMS program.
