Formulary Management
The drug list, also called a formulary, includes both brand and generic drugs. It will tell you whether any restrictions or limitations to coverage exist such as:- Prior authorization
- Step therapy
- Quantity limits
- Adding or removing a drug from the drug list
- Moving a drug to higher or lower tier
- Adding or removing coverage restrictions
- Replacing a brand name drug with a generic
- Or if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration finds that a drug on the formulary is unsafe and the manufacturer removes it from the market, we will update our formulary accordingly.
