Drug Recalls have several different levels. Some recalls are voluntarily issued by the drug companies themselves (such as the recent infant cough and cold medicine recall). These types of recalls do not involve notifications of individual patients. Grand Valley Health Plan monitors recalls affecting patients and has policies in place to deal with these instances.
Recalls involving notifications of individual patients are determined and issued by the FDA. When such a recall is issued, the recall information will be posted on this page.
