Not all benefit plans cover all drugs listed here. To find more information about a drug not on this list or to verify how coverage of a certain drug applies to you, please log into My Health Toolkit and use the Drug Coverage and Cost Tool. You can also refer to your plan materials for more information about coverage exceptions, limitations, etc. Drug Exclusions: We cover most drugs under your pharmacy benefit.

Copayments harmacy benefits cover prescription drugs at three levels. They are generic (), preferred (Tier 2) and non-preferred (Tier 3). drugs typically have the lowest copayment. This category includes most generic drugs and covered over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. Many members have a two-tier generic benefit. drugs costing more than $15 have a low Standard generic copayment. drugs that cost less than $15 and OTC drugs have the lowest Value generic copayment. referred drugs are generally brand drugs that have the middle copayment. Non-preferred drugs are brand-name drugs and occasionally, highpriced generic drugs, which have the highest copayment. We assign these levels based on cost, availability of a generic substitute and clinical value. Drugs may change levels at any time during the year without prior notice. These changes usually occur when new drugs become available. We do not cover specific lifestyle medications under the pharmacy benefit. Some examples of these types of drugs include those for: The treatment of hair loss Sexual dysfunction Weight loss Skin pigmentation treatments Members can get these types of drugs at a discounted price by presenting their prescription and member ID cards at network pharmacies. Quantity The BlueChoice harmacy and Therapeutics Committee is made up of doctors and pharmacists. The Committee sets maximum-allowed amounts for certain prescription drugs. It bases the amounts on U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prescribing guidelines and available package sizes. As a result, we limit coverage for some drugs to a certain quantity within a certain period of time. In this drug list, you will see QL next to drugs with quantity limits. Unless otherwise noted, one month equals a 31-day supply.

2 rior Authorization Doctors must get prior authorization for certain drugs. This helps make sure the drugs are used according to their product labeling. We base the need for prior authorization on current FDA guidelines. We also base it on clinical decisions from the BlueChoice harmacy and Therapeutics Committee. Before a doctor prescribes a prior authorization drug, he or she should call Caremark at Caremark is an independent company that administers prescription drug benefits on behalf of BlueChoice. In this drug list, you will see A next to drugs that require prior authorization. Medical Necessity rior Authorization We will not cover some medications without prior authorization for medical necessity (MN). Before a doctor prescribes an MN prior authorization drug, he or she should call Caremark at In this drug list, you will see MN next to drugs that require medical necessity prior authorization. Step Therapy Some drugs require members to satisfy certain step therapy criteria before they can get the drug. Before a doctor prescribes a step therapy drug, he or she should call BlueChoice at We will decide if we can approve the drug based on the step therapy criteria for that drug. In this drug list, you will see ST next to drugs that have a step therapy requirement. Unless otherwise noted, the requirement only applies to brand medications, not the generic version if there is one available. Specialty harmaceuticals Specialty pharmaceuticals are drugs that treat complex or chronic medical conditions and that are usually very expensive. We cover some of these drugs under the pharmacy benefit (oral and self-injectable drugs) and we cover others under the medical benefit.
