1 Value Formulary Excluded Drug List Catamaran offers diverse formulary alternatives that help our clients select what works best for them. The Value Formulary is a partially-closed formulary that excludes coverage of brand-name drugs that offer no clear clinical advantage over less-costly brand or generic alternatives. New drugs are immediately added as excluded on the Value Formulary until reviewed. Once reviewed, if it has been determined that they should be maintained on this list, then these new drugs along with their alternatives will be added to this list at that time.
