Limited prescription drug coverage
Prescription drug coverage will generally be limited to medications that do not have an equally effective over-the-counter substitute. If traveling outside of the U.S., pharmacy benefit coverage applies only to emergencies on a reimbursement basis.
Noncovered drugs
Certain medications are not covered as part of the plan. If you find such a drug has been prescribed for you, discuss alternative treatment with your doctor.
Formulary
The formulary is the list of medications chosen by a committee of doctors and pharmacists to help you maximize the value of your prescription benefit. Formulary changes can occur during the plan year. Medications that no longer offer the best therapeutic value are deleted from the formulary. Ask your pharmacist to verify the current copay amount when your prescription is filled. Sharing this information with your doctor helps ensure you get the best value, which saves you and your plan money.
