3 Health Plan of San Mateo Medi-Cal Medication Formulary (HPSM-Medi-Cal Formulary) What is a formulary? A formulary is a complete list of medications covered by Health Plan of San Mateo (HPSM). The drugs on the formulary have been evaluated to ensure they are safe, effective and economical. Both brand name drugs and generic drugs are included on the formulary. Note: Not every brand name drug has a generic equivalent (equal), but if it is available, the use of the generic equivalent drug is required. The HPSM-Medi-Cal Formulary is a mandatory generic formulary. In addition to HPSM-Medi-Cal members, the prescription drugs listed on the formulary also apply to members in the Healthy Families, Healthy Kids, and HealthWorx programs. Please note that HPSM will not cover certain over-thecounter (OTC) medications for members in Healthy Families, Healthy Kids, and HealthWorx programs. Please refer to the Evidence of Coverage (EOC) handbooks for OTC items that are not covered by HPSM. Use the formulary as reference material The formulary is to help you understand what drugs are covered by HPSM. It will help you to be more involved in your health care choices. Use it as a quick reference and a reminder. If you have any questions, please call a Member Service Representative at or How often is the formulary updated? The formulary is updated every two months. You may find out about the most recent updates on our website at or call a Member Service Representative at or How to look for your drugs in the formulary There are two ways to find your drug in the formulary: By medical condition The formulary begins on page. The drugs in this formulary are grouped into categories related to the type of medical conditions they are used to treat. For example, drugs used to treat a heart condition are listed under the category Cardiac Drugs. If you know what your drug is used for, look for the category name in the list that begins on page viii. Then look under the category name for your drug. By alphabetical listing If you are not sure what category of medical condition to look under, you can look for your drug in the Index that begins on page 09. The Index provides an alphabetical list of all of the drugs included in this document. Both brand name drugs and generic drugs are listed.. Look in the Index and find your drug.. Next to your drug, you will see the page number where you can find coverage information. 3. Turn to the page listed in the Index and look for the name of your drug in the first column of the list. The formulary will also have separate columns for drugs that have restrictions such as quantity limits, step therapy requirements, and Code restrictions. The meaning of quantity limits and step therapy, and Code restrictions are described below. Quantity limits (QL): For certain drugs, HPSM limits the amount of the drug that it will cover. For example, HPSM provides 9 tablets per prescription for SUMATRIPTAN 50 mg. This may be in addition to a standard one month or three month supply. Introduction i

4 Step therapy (ST): In some cases, HPSM requires you to first try certain drugs to treat your medical condition before we will cover another drug for that condition. For example, if Drug A and Drug B both treat your medical condition, HPSM may not cover drug B unless you try Drug A first. If Drug A does not work for you, HPSM will then cover Drug B. Code restriction (*): For certain drugs, HPSM restricts the use to a specified condition (diagnosis) or specified criteria. For example, diclofenac sodium (generic for Voltaren) tablet is covered for use in arthritis only. The full details of the Code restrictions starts on 87. What if my prescription is not on the formulary? If your doctor prescribes a drug not found in the formulary, your pharmacist can call your doctor. The doctor may either change the prescription to another drug already on the formulary or ask the pharmacist to submit a Medication Request Form (MRF) to MedImpact Healthcare to request the non-formulary drug. See a copy of a Medication Request Form on page vi. To avoid problems when you take your prescription to the pharmacy, bring the formulary with you to doctor appointments. Check it to make sure the drug your doctor prescribes is on the list before you leave the doctor s office. If it is not, you can tell the doctor right away so that he or she can decide whether or not to change the prescription to another drug that has the same effect and is on the formulary. Your doctor or pharmacist needs to fax a Medication Request Form (MRF)? Your doctor or pharmacist needs to fill out the MRF completely, and fax it to Pharmacy Services, Health Plan of San Mateo at How much will I pay for my medications? In general, for HPSM-Medi-Cal members, you will not be required to pay a copayment. Healthy Families, Healthy Kids, and HealthWorx members have to pay a copayment for your medications. Please refer to the most recent version of the Evidence of Coverage (EOC) handbooks to find out the copayments for brand drug and generic drugs. For More Information For more detailed information about pharmacy benefits, the formulary and prior authorization for medications, please review your EOC handbook. If you have more questions, please call HPSM Member Services: Phone: or Call Center Hours: Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Office Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Members with hearing or speech impairments can use the California Relay Service (CRS) at (TTY) or dial 7--. ii Introduction

5 Formulario de medicamentos de Health Plan of San Mateo Medi-Cal (Formulario de HPSM-Medi-Cal) Que es un formulario?

Los medicamentos en el formulario han sido evaluados para asegurar que son seguros, efectivos y económicos. En el formulario se incluyen tanto medicamentos de marca como medicamentos genéricos. Nota: No todos los medicamentos de marca tienen un genérico equivalente (igual), pero si está disponible, se requiere el uso de un medicamento genérico equivalente. El formulario HPSM-Medi-Cal es un formulario obligatorio genérico. Además de los miembros de HPSM-Medi-Cal, los medicamentos detallados en el formulario, también aplican para los miembros de los programas de Healthy Families, Healthy Kids, y HealthWorx.

Los medicamentos en este formulario están agrupados en categorías relacionadas al tipo de afección médica que tratan. Por ejemplo, los medicamentos usados para tratar una afección cardiaca, se muestran en la categoría de "Medicamentos cardiacos". Si usted sabe para qué se usa su medicamento, busque el nombre de la categoría en la lista que empieza en la página viii. Luego busque su medicamento bajo el nombre de categoría.

6 Límites de cantidad (QL, por sus siglas en inglés): Para ciertos medicamentos, HPSM limita la cantidad del medicamento que cubrirá. Por ejemplo, HPSM proporciona 9 tabletas por receta de SUMATRIPTAN 50 mg. Esto puede ser además del suministro estándar de uno o tres meses. Terapia por pasos (ST, por sus siglas en inglés): En algunos casos, HPSM requiere que pruebe usted primero ciertos medicamentos para tratar su afección médica, antes que nosotros cubramos otro medicamento para esa afección. Por ejemplo, si tanto el Medicamento A como el Medicamento B tratan su afección médica, HPSM podría no cubrir el Medicamento B, a menos que primero pruebe usar el Medicamento A. Si el Medicamento A no es efectivo en su caso, entonces HPSM cubrirá el Medicamento B. Restricción de Código (*): Para ciertos medicamentos, HPSM restringe su uso a una condición específica (diagnostico) o criterios específicos. Por ejemplo, la pastilla de diclofenaco de sodio (genérico para Voltaren) está cubierto únicamente para uso en artritis. Los detalles completos de las restricciones de Código, empiezan en 87. Qué pasa si mi receta médica no está en el formulario? Si su médico le receta un medicamento que no está en el formulario, su farmacéutico puede llamar a su médico. El médico puede ya sea cambiar la receta médica a otro medicamento que ya está en el formulario, o pedir al farmacéutico que presente un Formulario de solicitud de medicamentos (MRF, por sus siglas en inglés) a MedImpact Healthcare para solicitar el medicamento no incluido en el formulario. Vea una copia del formulario de solicitud de medicamentos en la página vi. Para evitar problemas cuando lleve su receta médica a la farmacia, lleve el formulario con usted a las citas con el médico. Revíselo antes de dejar el consultorio del médico, para asegurarse que el medicamento que su médico le está recentando está en la lista. Si no está, le puede decir a su médico en ese mismo momento, para que él o ella decida si cambia o no la receta médica a otro medicamento que tenga el mismo efecto y que esté en el formulario. Su médico o farmacéutico necesita enviar por fax un formulario de solicitud de medicamentos (MRF, por sus siglas en inglés)? Su médico o farmacéutico necesita llenar completamente el MRF y enviarlo por fax a Servicios Farmacéutico, Health Plan of San Mateo al número Cuánto pagaré por mis medicamentos? En general, para los miembros de HPSM-Medi-Cal, usted no tendrá que hacer un copago. Los miembros de Healthy Families, Healthy Kids, y HealthWorx tienen que hacer un copago para sus medicamentos.
