July 2013 Blue Cross and Blue Shield Generics Plus Drug Formulary

In Texas and Oklahoma referred to as Preferred Drug List 2

Blue Cross and Blue Shield Generics Plus July 2013 Drug Formulary I

Introduction

This is a list of preferred drugs which includes Preferred Brand drugs and a partial listing of generic drugs. Members are encouraged to show this list to their physicians and pharmacists. Physicians are encouraged to prescribe drugs on this list, when right for the member. However decisions regarding therapy and treatment are always between members and their physician.

Drug formulary updates – This list is regularly updated as generic drugs become available and changes take place in the pharmaceuticals market. How formulary drugs are selected

Drugs on this list are selected based on the recommendations of a committee made up of physicians and pharmacists from throughout the country. The committee, which includes at least one representative from your health plan, reviews drugs regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Both drugs that are newly approved by the FDA as well as those that have been on the market for some time are considered. Drugs are selected based on safety, efficacy, cost and how they compare to other drugs currently on the list.

How member payment is determined

This list shows prescription drug products in tiers. Generally, each drug is placed into one of three or four member payment tiers: generic, Preferred Brand or Non-Preferred Brand (not listed in this document). Specialty drugs can either be within the previous three tiers or can be a separate fourth tier depending on your benefit design.

Your pharmacy benefit includes coverage for almost all prescription drugs, although some exclusions may apply. For example, drugs indicated for cosmetic purposes, e.g., Propecia, for hair growth, may not be covered. Some drugs may only be available through your medical benefit (example: Testopel).

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois April 2013 Drug Formulary II

How to use this list

This list is organized into broad therapeutic categories. For example, Hormones, Diabetes and Related Drugs is a broad category. Within most categories, drugs are sub-grouped based upon drug class, for example under Hormones, Diabetes and Related Drugs you will find Estrogens. All drugs listed, whether generic or brand, are preferred drugs.

T The first column of the chart lists the drug name. Generic drugs are shown in lower-case boldface type. Most generic drugs are followed by a reference brand drug in (parentheses). The reference brand drug is a non-preferred (NP) brand and is only included as a reference to the brand. Some generic products have no reference brand.

Example: budesonide ext-release (Entocort EC  –  brand is NP)

Preferred brand drugs are listed in all CAPITAL letters.

Example: ZYTIGA

The following examples are given to assist you and your doctor in reading listings that include specific strengths and dosage forms. These examples can be applied to other drugs on the formulary. Any exceptions are noted and some listings contain additional information about specific products or dosage forms.

• Extended-release and delayed-release products require their own entry.

Example: DETROL LA

The long-acting product Detrol LA is on the preferred drug list, but requires a separate entry from the non ext-release product Detrol.

• Some products may show a strength, if so only that strength indicated is on the preferred drug list.

Example: XIFAXAN 550 mg

The Xifaxan 550 mg is on preferred drug list in this case, but the Xifaxan 200 mg is not because it is not listed.

The second column indicates if the drug is a specialty drug. Note: Additional information about specialty drugs can be found in this document under the header for Specialty Drugs.

T The remaining columns indicate the Utilization Management (UM) program(s) that apply to the prescription drug (e.g., Prior Authorization, Dispensing Limits, and Step Therapy). If an indicator is present in the column(s), then the UM program noted is possibly applied to your benefit. Some plans may have UM on additional medications beyond those noted in this document.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield Generics Plus July 2013 Drug Formulary III

Drugs used to treat multiple conditions

Some drugs in the same dosage form may be used to treat more than one medical condition. In these instances, each medication is classified according to its first FDA-approved use. Please check the index if you do not find your particular medication in the class/condition section that corresponds to your use.

Generic drugs

Using generic drugs, when right for you, can help you save on your out-of-pocket medication costs. Generic drugs must be approved by the FDA just as brand drugs are, and must meet the same strict standards.

There are two types of generic drugs:

• A generic equivalent is made with the same active ingredient(s) at the same dosage as the reference drug.

• A generic alternative is a drug typically used to treat the same condition, but the active ingredient(s) differs from the brand drug.

According to the FDA, compared to its brand counterpart, an FDA-approved generic drug:

• Is chemically the same

• Works just as well in the body

• Is as safe and effective

• Meets the same standards set by the FDA

The main difference between the reference brand drug and the generic equivalent is that the generic often costs much less.

Brand drugs in Tier 2 typically move to Tier 3 after a generic equivalent becomes available. You may be responsible for the generic member payment amount plus the difference in cost between the brand and generic drug if you or your doctor requests the reference brand rather than the generic. Generic drugs have the lowest member payment amount.

Consider talking to your doctor about generic drugs

If your doctor writes a prescription for a brand drug that does not have a generic equivalent, consider asking if an appropriate generic alternative is available.

You can also let your pharmacist know that you would like a generic equivalent for a brand drug, whenever one is available. Your pharmacist can usually substitute a generic equivalent for its brand counterpart without a new prescription from your doctor.

Only your doctor can determine whether a generic alternative is right for you and must prescribe the medication.

Coverage considerations

Most prescription drug benefit plans provide coverage for up to a 30- to 34-day supply of medication, with some exceptions. Your plan may also provide coverage for up to a 90-day supply of maintenance medications. Maintenance medications are those drugs you may take on an ongoing basis for conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol. Some plans may exclude coverage for certain agents or drug categories, like those used for erectile dysfunction (example: Viagra) or infertility (example: Follistim AQ).

Over-the-counter exclusions: Some benefit plans do not provide coverage for prescription medications that have an over-the-counter version. You should refer to your benefit plan booklet for details about your particular benefits.

Compounded medications: Some benefit plans do not provide coverage for compounded medications. Please see your plan materials or call the number on the back of your ID card to determine whether compounded medications are covered and/or verify your payment amount.

Repackaged medications: Repackaged versions of medications already available on the market are not covered.

Prior Authorization (PA): Your benefit plan may require prior authorization for certain drugs that are high-cost or have the potential for misuse. This means that your doctor will need to submit a prior authorization request for coverage of these medications, and the request will need to be approved, before the medication will be covered under your plan. For the preferred medications listed in this document, if a prior authorization is commonly required, it will be noted next to the medication with a dot under the prior authorization column as stated in the section “How To Use This List.” Some plans may have prior authorization on additional medications beyond those noted in this document.

Step Therapy (ST): Your benefit plan may include a step therapy program. This means you may need to try another proven, cost-effective medication before coverage may be available for the drug included in the program. Many brand drugs have less-expensive generic or brand alternatives that might be an option for you. For the preferred medications listed in this document, if a step therapy is commonly required it will be noted next to the medication with a dot under the step therapy column as noted in the section “How To Use This List.” Some plans may have step therapy programs on additional medications beyond those noted in this document.

Dispensing Limits (DL): Drug Dispensing limits help encourage medication use as intended by the FDA. Coverage limits are placed on medications in certain drug categories. For the formulary medications listed in this document, if a dispensing limit applies, it will be noted next to the medication with a dot under the dispensing limits column as explained in the section “How to Use This List.” Limits may include: quantity of covered medication per prescription, quantity of covered medication in a given time period, coverage only for members within a certain age range, and coverage only for members of a specific gender. If your doctor prescribes a greater quantity of medication than what the dispensing limit allows, you can still get the medication. However, you will be responsible for the full cost of the prescription beyond what your coverage allows. For a list of medications and their dispensing limits, visit myprime.com.

Remember, medication decisions are between you and your doctor. Only your doctor can determine which medication is right for you. Discuss any questions or concerns you have about medications you are taking or are prescribed with your doctor.

Specialty drugs

Specialty drugs are used in the treatment of medical conditions such as hepatitis, hemophilia, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Specialty drugs may be oral or injectable medications that can either be self-administered or administered by a health care professional. For a current list of specialty medications, visit myprime.com.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield Generics Plus July 2013 Drug Formulary V

Note that some drug classes may be excluded by some plans and therefore may not be covered under your pharmacy benefit. Your plan may have a different coverage level for specialty drugs. If you have questions about your coverage for specialty medications or your prescription drug benefit, call the number on the back of your ID card.
