ADVANTAGE CHOICE OVERVIEW The Advantage Choice pharmacy program offers a variety of high-quality, effective generic and brandname prescription drugs. This guide provides information that is applicable to most members. For information specific to your plan, refer to your Schedule of Benefits. When you need a prescription medication, you and your doctor can choose from five different levels, or tiers. Each tier has a different copayment. This gives you and your doctor the freedom to choose the medication that is right for you. At the same time, this will help you to better budget your health care dollars. This guide provides an overview of your pharmacy benefit with UPMC Health Plan. It explains the copayment structure, the process for getting certain drugs covered, your options for filling prescriptions, important phone numbers, and more.

UNDERSTANDING COVERAGE AND COST-SHARING Our formulary is the list of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs that we cover. UPMC Health Plan s Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee researches and evaluates medications it may cover. Committee members include local doctors and pharmacists who meet regularly during the year to review and update the formulary. Committee members base their decision on the drug s safety, effectiveness, and cost. Advantage Choice prescription drugs are organized into five copayment tiers on the formulary: Tier is for generic medications. drugs offer the same level of safety and quality as their brand-name equivalents. They have the same amount of active ingredients as brand-name medications. Advantage Choice requires you to use a generic version of the drug if one is available. Tier 2 is for preferred-brand medications. UPMC Health Plan classifies these drugs as preferred because of their value and effectiveness. Tier 3 is for non-preferred brand medications. Tier 4 is for specialty medications, for which you will have the highest level of cost-sharing. medications usually treat complex and rare conditions and are created because of advancements in drug development. These drugs can be high-cost medications and biologicals regardless of how they are administered (injectable, oral, transdermal, or inhalant). Tier is for select preventive medications. About Drugs drugs have the same active ingredients as their brand-name equivalents, but cost significantly less. Not all drugs have a generic equivalent. Generally, new drugs receive patent protection. Once the patent expires, other pharmaceutical companies can produce the same drug in a generic formulation. Companies that make generic drugs do not have to invest large amounts of money in research, since the company making the brand-name equivalent has already done this. Also, generic companies do not need to advertise their drugs. As a result, generic drug makers can pass these savings on to you. drugs have the same active ingredients as brandname drugs, but their inactive ingredients can vary. This is why the generic drug might look different from the brandname drug. Inactive ingredients can be dyes used to color the drug or powders used to shape the tablets. Inactive ingredients do not affect how the generic drug works. The FDA regulates generic drug manufacturers just as it regulates the makers of brand-name medications. The generic drug must pass strict FDA measurements to ensure that it delivers the same amount of the active ingredient in the same time frame as its brand-name counterpart. The manufacturer of the generic drug must prove that it produces its product under the same strict guidelines as the brandname drug.

UNDERSTANDING OUR SYMBOLS Prior Authorization You will see the symbol PA next to certain drugs on our formulary tables in this booklet. PA stands for prior authorization. If a drug requires prior authorization, the UPMC Health Plan Pharmacy Services Department must authorize the use of this drug before it will be covered. Drugs that require prior authorization are often: Newer drugs for which UPMC Health Plan wants to track usage. Drugs not used as a standard first option in treating a medical condition. Drugs with potential side effects that UPMC Health Plan wants to monitor for patient safety. Drugs categorized as specialty medications. All compounded medications require prior authorization. Compounded Hormone Replacement Therapy and Compounded Narcotic Analgesics will not be covered by the Advantage Choice benefit. Step Therapy You will see the symbol ST next to certain drugs on the formulary tables in this booklet. ST stands for step therapy. Step therapy is the practice of using specific medications first when beginning drug therapy for a medical condition. The preferred first course of treatment may be generic medications or drugs that are considered as the standard first-line treatment. Step therapy is built into the electronic system that checks your medication history. A drug with step therapy will be automatically approved if there is a record that you have already tried the preferred drug(s). If there is no record that you tried the preferred drug(s) in your medication history, your physician must submit relevant clinical information to the UPMC Health Plan Pharmacy Services Department before it will be covered. Quantity Limits You will see the symbol QL next to certain drugs on the formulary tables in this booklet. QL stands for quantity limits. Quantity limits are drug-specific and limit the amount of certain drugs that can be dispensed during a specified period of time. These limits are based on FDA guidelines, clinical literature, and manufacturer s instructions. Quantity limits promote appropriate use of the drug, prevent waste, and help control costs. 3 For some drugs, the dosing guidelines may recommend that patients take the drug one time a day in a larger dose instead of several times a day in smaller doses. The quantity limits follow the guidelines and cover one larger dose per day. Your physician can request an exception to the quantity limit through the UPMC Health Plan Pharmacy Services Department. Prescriptions for controlled substances and specialty medications are limited to a 30-day supply. FILLING YOUR PRESCRIPTION Retail UPMC Health Plan s network of retail pharmacies includes hundreds of locations independent pharmacies as well as multistore chains throughout the region. You can take your prescription to any pharmacy in the network. You must use 7 percent of your medication before you can get a refill. For specific pharmacy names, locations, and telephone numbers, visit www.upmchealthplan.com/pharmacy or call our Health Care Concierge team. The phone number is listed on the back of your member ID card and on page of this booklet. Mail Order If you take maintenance medications for a chronic condition, you can get them through a mail order pharmacy. Maintenance medications are drugs that are taken on a regular, long-term basis. This may include drugs to treat high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol, and more. With convenient mail-order service: You receive a 90-day supply of most drugs, plus refills, as prescribed by your doctor. You usually pay a lower out-of-pocket cost for a 90-day supply at a mail-order pharmacy than you would pay at a retail pharmacy. You get these drugs delivered right to your door. Most mail order prescriptions are written for a 90-day supply. If your doctor writes for a 30-day supply with two refills, the mail order facility may combine the prescription to make a 90-day supply. If you do not want a 90-day supply, you should indicate this on the mail-order form. For a first-time prescription or a new medication, UPMC Health Plan recommends that you try a 30-day supply of the drug from a retail pharmacy. That way your doctor has a
chance to make sure that it is the right dose for you and that it does not cause any side effects. Once you re confident that the medication is appropriate, ask your doctor to write a prescription for a 90-day supply of each maintenance drug that you need (plus refills if appropriate). Then order the supply through the mail-order pharmacy. To avoid running out of your mail-order prescription, reorder your medication while you still have an adequate supply remaining, allowing a few weeks for processing and delivery. To request refills, you may order online or over the telephone. You can request a mail-order form by calling our Health Care Concierge team or find out more information on the UPMC Health Plan website at www.upmchealthplan.com/ pharmacy. Provider Most specialty medications must be obtained through our designated specialty provider. When you are prescribed a specialty medication and use a specialty provider, you get mail-order delivery and improved access to drugs, as many retail pharmacies do not carry these types of medications. providers also improve care by providing education for our members and expanded access to health care professionals trained in the proper use of these specialty medications. A specialty provider offers cost-effective medication management and compliance programs. To fill a prescription at a participating out-of-area pharmacy, present your UPMC Health Plan member ID card. Some pharmacies may ask you to pay the full price of the medication. If that happens: You can request a Pharmacy Program Direct Reimbursement Claim Form by calling our Health Care Concierge team or requesting the form on the UPMC Health Plan website at www.upmchealthplan.com/ pharmacy. If your claim is approved, you will be reimbursed the amount that you paid for the medication, less the appropriate copayment. If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, or if you will be traveling outside of the country, you may want to use our mail-order service so that you receive a 90-day supply before you leave home. Medication Supplies Not Covered by UPMC Health Plan No authorizations will be provided for medications that are reported by the member, provider, or pharmacy to be lost, misplaced, stolen, destroyed, or damaged. Medications received at no charge to the member (workers compensation, medications purchased with a manufacturer s coupon, etc.) will not be covered. Prescriptions that are written more than a year ago will not be covered. Your doctor will need to write a new prescription. Filling Your Prescription When Traveling When you travel outside of the western Pennsylvania area, thousands of pharmacies across the country will honor your UPMC Health Plan member ID card. To locate a participating pharmacy, contact our Health Care Concierge team at the phone number listed on the back of your member ID card or on page of this booklet. 4
