2 Buckeye Community Health Plan Pharmacy Program Buckeye Community Health Plan, Inc. (Buckeye) is committed to providing appropriate, high quality, and cost effective drug therapy to all Buckeye members. Buckeye works with providers and pharmacists to ensure that medications used to treat a variety of conditions and diseases are covered. Buckeye covers prescription medications and certain over- the-counter (OTC) medications when ordered by a physician/clinician. The pharmacy program does not cover all medications. Some medications require prior authorization (PA) or have limitations on age, dosage, and maximum quantities. This section provides an overview of the Buckeye pharmacy program. For more detailed information, please visit our website at The following program covers both the Covered Families & Children (CFC) and Aged, Blind or Disabled (ABD) Ohio Medicaid consumers who are enrolled in Buckeye. Plan Preferred Drug List and Prior Authorization List The Buckeye Preferred Drug List (PDL) describes the circumstances under which contracted pharmacy providers will be reimbursed for medications dispensed to members covered under the program. All drugs covered under the Ohio Medicaid program are available for Buckeye members. The PDL includes all drugs available without PA and those agents that have the restrictions of (ST). The PA list includes those drugs that require PA for coverage. The PDL applies to drugs you receive at retail pharmacies. The PDL is continually evaluated by the Buckeye Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee to promote the appropriate and cost-effective use of medications. The Committee is composed of the Buckeye Medical Director, Buckeye Pharmacy Director, and several Ohio primary care physicians, pharmacists, and specialists. The PDL does not: Require or prohibit the prescribing or dispensing of any medication Substitute for the independent professional judgment of the physician/clinician or pharmacist, or Relieve the physician/clinician or pharmacist of any obligation to the patient or others US Script With the exceptions of biopharmaceuticals and specialty drugs, Buckeye works with US Script to process all pharmacy claims for prescribed drugs. Some drugs on the Buckeye PDL and PA list require a PA and US Script is responsible for administering this process. US Script is our Pharmacy Benefit Manager. Follow these guidelines for efficient processing of your authorization requests: 1. Complete the Buckeye Community Health Plan/US Script form: Medication Prior Authorization Request Form. 2. Fax to US Script at Once approved, US Script notifies the prescriber by fax. 4. If the clinical information provided does not explain the medical necessity for the requested PA medication, US Script will deny the request and offer PDL alternatives to the prescriber by fax. 5. For urgent or after-hours requests, a pharmacy can provide up to a 72-hour emergency supply of medication by calling

3 Prior Authorization Process The Buckeye PDL includes a broad spectrum of brand name and generic drugs. Clinicians are encouraged to prescribe from the Buckeye PDL for their patients who are members of Buckeye. Some drugs will require PA and are listed on the PA list. In addition, all name brand drugs not listed on either the PDL or PA list will require prior authorization. If a request for authorization is needed the information should be submitted by your physician/clinician to US Script on the Buckeye Community Health Plan/US Script form: Medication Prior Authorization Request Form. This form should be faxed to US Script at This document is located on the Buckeye website at Buckeye will cover the medication if it is determined that: 1. There is a medical reason you need the specific medication. 2. Depending on the medication, other medications on the PDL have not worked. All reviews are performed by a licensed clinical pharmacist using the criteria established by the Buckeye P&T Committee. Once approved, US Script notifies the physician/clinician by fax. If the clinical information provided does not meet the coverage criteria for the requested medication Buckeye we will notify you and your physician/clinician of alternatives and provide information regarding the appeal process. The P&T committee has reviewed and approved, with input from its members and in consideration of medical evidence, the list of drugs requiring prior authorization. This PDL attempts to provide appropriate and cost-effective drug therapy to all members covered under the Buckeye pharmacy program. If a patient requires a brand name medication that does not appear on the PDL, the physician/clinician can make a PA request for the brand name medication. It is anticipated that such exceptions will be rare and that PDL medications will be appropriate to treat the vast majority of medical conditions. A phone or fax-in process is available for PA requests. US Script Contact : Prior Authorization Fax Prior Authorization Phone Mailing Address: 2425 W Shaw Ave, Fresno, CA When calling, please have patient information, including Medicaid number, complete diagnosis, medication history and current medications readily available. US Script will provide a decision to the request by fax or phone within 24 hours. When incomplete information is received to support medical necessity of a drug requiring PA, the request will be denied. If the request is approved, information in the on-line pharmacy claims processing system will be changed to allow the specific member to receive this specific drug. If the request is denied, information about the denial will be provided to the clinician. Clinicians are requested to utilize the PDL when prescribing medication for those patients covered by the Buckeye pharmacy program. If a pharmacist receives a prescription for a drug that requires a PA, the pharmacist should attempt to contact the clinician to request a change to a product included in the PDL. Phone Numbers for Buckeye Community Health Plan Member Services The phone and fax lines listed in the Prior Authorization Process section are dedicated to clinicians requesting PA medication items only. Members can not be assisted if they call the PA toll-free number. Buckeye Member Services may be reached at (TTY ).

4 Transition Period Buckeye members new to managed care will be able to receive their prescription drugs with no new PA requirements than traditional Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicaid for 30 days they are enrolled in our plan if the prescription drug does not require PA by traditional FFS Medicaid. This means that if you needed a PA under traditional FFS Medicaid to get your prescriptions you will most likely still need a PA to get the same medication. If you have not needed PA under traditional FFS Medicaid to get your prescription you will not need PA from Buckeye to get the same medication for the first 30 days you are enrolled. This will allow you and your doctor time to consider other medications that do not require PA and to learn the steps to getting PA. Buckeye s PDL and PA List identify the drugs that will require PA once you have been a managed care member for 30 days. If you are not sure when you will need to have your medications prior authorized or you have other questions about continuing to get your medications, call member services at (TTY ). 72-Hour Emergency Supply Policy State and federal law require that a pharmacy dispense a 72-hour (3-day) supply of medication to any patient awaiting a PA determination. The purpose is to avoid interruption of current therapy or delay in the initiation of therapy. All participating pharmacies are authorized to provide a 72-hour supply of medication and will be reimbursed for the ingredient cost and dispensing fee of the 72-hour supply of medication, whether or not the PA request is ultimately approved or denied. The pharmacy must call the US Script Pharmacy Help Desk at for a prescription override to submit the 72-hour medication supply for payment. Some medications listed on the Buckeye PDL may require specific medications to be used before you can receive the step therapy medication. If Buckeye has a record that the required medication was tried first the ST medications are automatically covered. If Buckeye does not have a record that the required medication was tried, you or your physician/clinician may be required to provide additional information. If Buckeye does not grant PA we will notify you and your physician/clinician and provide information regarding the appeal process. Dispensing Limits, Quantity Limits, and Age Limits Drugs may be dispensed up to a maximum 31 day supply for each new or refill non-controlled substance. A total of 80 percent (80%) of the days supplied must have elapsed before the prescription can be refilled. A prescription can be filled after 26 days. Dispensing outside the quantity limit (QL) or age limits (AL) requires PA. Buckeye may limit how much of a medication you can get at one time. If the physician/clinician feels you have a medical reason for getting a larger amount, he or she can ask for PA. If Buckeye does not grant PA we will notify you and your physician/clinician and provide information regarding the appeal process. Some medications on the Buckeye PDL may have AL. These are set for certain drugs based on Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved labeling and for safety concerns and quality standards of care. The AL aligns with current FDA alerts for the appropriate use of pharmaceuticals.

5 Gender Limits Some medications on the Buckeye PDL may be limited to one gender. These medications have a GL after them on the PDL. These limits are set for certain drugs based on FDA approved labeling and for safety concerns and quality standards of care. Gender limits align with current FDA alerts for the appropriate use of pharmaceuticals. Medical Necessity Requests If you require a medication that does not appear on the PDL, you or your physician/clinician can make a medical necessity request for the medication. It is anticipated that such exceptions will be rare and that PDL medications will be appropriate to treat the vast majority of medical conditions. Buckeye requires: Documentation of failure of at least two PDL agents within the same therapeutic class (provided two agents exist in the therapeutic category with comparable labeled indications) for the same diagnosis (e.g. migraine, neuropathic pain, etc.); or Documented intolerance or contraindication to at least two PDL agents within the same therapeutic class (provided two agents exist in the therapeutic category with comparable labeled indications); or Documented clinical history or presentation where the patient is not a candidate for any of the PDL agents for the indication. All reviews are performed by a licensed clinical pharmacist using the criteria established by the Buckeye P&T Committee. If the clinical information provided does not meet the coverage criteria for the requested medication Buckeye will notify you and your physician/clinician of alternatives and provide information regarding the appeal process. Appropriate Use and Safety Edits Your health and safety is a priority for Buckeye. One of the ways we address your safety is through Pointof-Sale (POS) edits at the time a prescription is processed at the pharmacy. These edits are based on FDA recommendations and promote safe and effective medication utilization. information about the drugs that are part of the Appropriate Use and Safety Edits can be found in the Appropriate Use and Safety Edits document located on the Buckeye website at DUR (Drug Utilization Review) Programs Buckeye will monitor ongoing prescribing of medications for clinical appropriateness. Buckeye reviews prescribing retrospectively to review for both safety and efficacy. Buckeye will work with US Script to review for such things as disease management, fraud and abuse (i.e. Coordinated Services Program), and prescriber profiling. Prescriber or member outreach may occur based on prescribing/dispensing patterns. Buckeye will continue to monitor for issues going forward and take action as needed. Mandatory Generic Substitution When generic drugs are available, the brand name drug will not be covered without Buckeye PA. Generic drugs have the same active ingredient and work the same as brand name drugs. If you or your physician/clinician feels a brand name drug is medically necessary, the physician/clinician can ask for PA.

6 We will cover the brand name drug according to our clinical guidelines if there is a medical reason you need the particular brand name drug. If Buckeye does not grant PA we will notify you and your physician/clinician and provide information regarding the appeal process. The provision is waived for the following products due to their narrow therapeutic index (NTI) as recognized by current medical and pharmaceutical literature: Aminophylline, Amiodarone, Carbamazepine, Clozapine, Cyclosporine, Digoxin, Disopyramide, Ethosuximide, Flecainide, L-thyroxine, Lithium, Phenytoin, Procainamide, Propafenone, Theophylline, Thyroid, Valproate Sodium, Valproic Acid, and Warfarin. Over-The-Counter Medications The pharmacy program covers a large selection of OTC medications. All covered OTC medications appear in the PDL. All OTC medications must be written on a valid prescription by a licensed physician/clinician in order to be reimbursed. Filling a Prescription You can have prescriptions filled at a Buckeye network pharmacy. If you decide to have a prescription filled at a network pharmacy you can locate a pharmacy near you by contacting a Buckeye Member Services Representative. At the pharmacy you will need to provide the pharmacist with your prescription and your Buckeye ID card.

7 Buckeye Community Health Plan Pharmacy Program - Working with Our Pharmacy Benefit Managers Buckeye works with two Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). Health is the preferred provider of biopharmaceuticals and injectables for Buckeye. US Script administers all other prescribed drugs. Certain drugs require PA to be approved for payment by Buckeye. These include: Some Buckeye drugs listed on the PA list Most injectables including Procrit, Neulasta and Neupogen. Health Biopharmaceuticals and Injectables Health is the provider of biopharmaceuticals and injectables for Buckeye. Most injectables require PA to be approved for payment. Our Medical Director oversees the clinical review. Buckeye provides a number of biopharmaceutical products through the Biopharmaceutical Program. Most biopharmaceuticals and injectables require a PA to be approved for payment by Buckeye; however, PA requirements are programmed specific to the drug as indicated in the list provided in the Biopharmaceutical Program document located on the Buckeye website at Follow these guidelines for the most efficient processing of your authorization requests. Providers can request that Health deliver the specialty drug to the office/member. If you want Health to deliver the specialty drug to the office/member: 1. Fax the Health PA form to for PA. 2. If approved, Health will contact the provider or member for delivery confirmation. Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee The Buckeye Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee continually evaluates the therapeutic classes included in the PDL. The Committee is composed of the Buckeye Medical Director, Buckeye Pharmacist, and several community based primary care physicians and specialists. The primary purpose of the Committee is to assist in developing and monitoring the Buckeye PDL and to establish programs and procedures that promote the appropriate and cost-effective use of medications. The P&T Committee schedules meetings at least twice yearly, and coordinates reviews with a national P&T Committee which meets at least 4 times a year. Changes to the Buckeye PDL are done in conjunction with the approval of the State of Ohio. Buckeye will meet with the State quarterly to review any proposed changes and update the PDL and PA lists accordingly based on the results of both the Buckeye P&T Committee and the requirements from the State of Ohio. Buckeye will follow all State policies regarding member notification when changes are made to the PA list. Unapproved Use of Preferred Medication Medication coverage under this program is limited to non-experimental indications as approved by the FDA. Other indications may also be covered if they are accepted as safe and effective using current medical and pharmaceutical reference texts and evidence-based medicine. Reimbursement decisions for

8 specific non-approved indications will be made by Buckeye. Experimental drugs and investigational drugs are not eligible for coverage. Benefit Exclusions The following drug categories are not part of the Buckeye PDL and are not covered by the 72-hour emergency supply policy: Fertility enhancing drugs Anorexia, weight loss, or weight gain drugs Immunizations and vaccines (except flu vaccine) Drug Efficacy Study Implementation (DESI) and Identical, Related and Similar (IRS) drugs that are classified as ineffective Infusion therapy and supplies Drugs and other agents used for cosmetic purposes or for hair growth Erectile dysfunction drugs prescribed to treat impotence DESI drugs products and known related drug products are defined as less than effective by the FDA because there is a lack of substantial evidence of effectiveness for all labeling indications and because a compelling justification for their medical need has not been established. State programs may allow coverage of certain DESI drugs. Any DESI drugs that are covered are listed in the PDL. Newly Approved Products We review new drugs for safety and effectiveness for the first 12 months before adding them to the Buckeye Community PDL. During this period, access to these medications will be considered through the PA review process. If Buckeye does not grant PA we will notify you and your physician/clinician and provide information regarding the appeal process. Medical Benefits The following drugs and medical services are a part of the Buckeye medical benefit and are not available at the retail pharmacy: 1. Members will receive vaccines as a medical benefit under physician reimbursement if listed the vaccine covered under the vaccine for children program. 2. Cosmetic-botox is a medical benefit that is covered for non-cosmetic purposes only- it requires a PA from Buckeye. 3. Blood and blood products. 4. Those specialty injectable drugs available as a medical benefit. Most injectables require PA from Buckeye. Prescribers who request medical prior authorizations at US Script will be redirected to contact Buckeye Community Health Plan as applicable.

All other injectables require PA. Coordinated Services Program Consumers eligible for Ohio Medicaid may be selected for enrollment in the Coordinated Services Program, or CSP. CSP enrollees must get medications filled at one pharmacy and coordinate medical services through their primary care provider. After being enrolled in CSP, the member will still be able to get all medically necessary Medicaid- covered health care services. However, the member must select one pharmacy to fill their prescriptions. If they go to a different pharmacy without approval, their medication will not be covered. The member also has a primary care provider (PCP) to coordinate their health care services with other providers. Except in an emergency, the member should contact their PCP before seeing other providers. By knowing the complete medical history, the PCP and pharmacy can take better care of the patient. A care manager will also contact the member to discuss care management services. We help keep you informed The Buckeye Pharmacy Director, a registered pharmacist, compiles current pharmacological policy and information about important seasonal topics such as Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and influenza. The information is consistent with published guidelines and is mailed to network providers as a service.
