An Introduction to Your Prescription Benefit Program Your prescription benefit program is designed to help you and your eligible

dependents obtain prescription medications conveniently and at reasonable prices.

We are committed to:

• Providing a quality prescription benefit program that meets your needs and

the needs of your family.

• Promoting the use of safe, cost-effective and clinically appropriate

medications.

• Helping you save money and providing convenient access to your

prescription medications.

• Helping you achieve the best possible health outcomes.

This booklet is an important resource — along with the Magellan Rx Management

website (magellanrx.com) and our Customer Service Department, who can be

reached at the Rx Customer Service phone number located on your identification

card. We encourage you to review this booklet and visit our website to educate

yourself about your prescription benefit program. Understanding how your program

works will help you get the most out of your benefit.

Maximizing Your Benefits Generic MedicationsThere are now many generic products available to you on the market. Generic

medications provide quality, cost-effective alternatives to brand medications. One

or more of your prescriptions may be filled with a pharmaceutically equivalent

generic product. We use generic equivalents, whenever possible, in order to reduce

costs to you, your Plan and the health care system — unless otherwise directed by

your physician. These medications have met the standards established by the Food

and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA approves a generic equivalent if its safety,

purity, strength and effectiveness are proven to match that of the brand-name

product. Please refer to the label on your prescription container to determine if you

have received a generic equivalent.

Page 4: Welcome to Your Prescription Benefit Program · 2018-08-23 · Welcome to Magellan Rx Management Magellan Rx Management provides a wide range of prescription benefit programs that

In general, most plans require the use of generically equivalent products to obtain

savings for their members. You may request a brand-name medication by notifying

us on your prescription order. The brand-name product may be subject to a higher

cost or copay as determined by your Plan.

Over-the-Counter (OTC) ProductsSome brand-name drugs previously available by prescription-only are now

available over-the-counter (OTC). For example, drugs such as Claritin®, Prevacid®

24HR, Prilosec OTC®, and Zyrtec® no longer require a prescription and are the

same strength as their prescription versions. These OTC products may represent a

reasonable therapeutic alternative to other medications in the same class of drugs

that still require a prescription. In consultation with your physician, consider an

OTC product as it may be a lower cost option to treat your condition. If your Plan

provides OTC coverage, you may be eligible for additional benefits.

Taking Your Medications As Directed Taking medications exactly as prescribed is one of the most important things

you can do to enhance your health and prevent medical complications. Missing

doses, stopping medication early or swapping medications with other people

can lead to serious problems.

Here are a few tips to help you get the greatest benefit from your medications:

• Read labels carefully before taking each medication.

• Ask your physician or pharmacist what to do if you miss a dose.

• Take each medication as prescribed by your physician. For example, take the

correct number of doses each day, at the correct time of day.

• Talk to your physician or pharmacist before you stop taking a medication.

Do not stop taking a medication just because you feel better.

• Talk to your physician or pharmacist before crushing or splitting tablets;

some medications need to be swallowed whole.

• Keep a record of all your current medications, including their names and

regimens (dose, time and other instructions).

• Write down any problems you have with your medications, and discuss them

with your physician or pharmacist.

• Keep medications away from heat, light and moisture. Never store

medications in the bathroom.

• Make taking your medications a part of your daily schedule.

• Properly discard all outdated medications. Call Customer Service, visit magellanrx.com, or review FDA guidelines* for information on how to

properly discard your outdated medications.

Magellan Rx Management Formulary A Prescription Drug List, or formulary, is a list of brand-name and generic

medications that have undergone a careful review by a committee of practicing

physicians and pharmacists. This committee reviews new and existing medications

for safety and efficacy, and decides which medications provide quality treatment at

the best value.

The formulary is updated several times a year as new medications become

available and is subject to change. For the most up-to-date information, or for a full

formulary listing, visit magellanrx.com.

While the formulary is intended to provide a comprehensive coverage of your

prescription medication needs, there are some products that are not covered

or have limited availability. For medications that are not on the formulary or are

not covered by your prescription benefit program, talk to your physician about

alternative medications.

How Can I Find Out What Medications are On My Plan’s Formulary?The Magellan Rx Management Prescription Drug List is updated several times every

year as new medications become available. The list is subject to change. For the

most up-to-date information, visit magellanrx.com or call Customer Service at the

Rx Customer Service phone number located on your identification card.

For specific coverage and limitations information, as well as details about your

copay, please refer to your benefit plan documents.

Note: This is a partial list of medications that changes periodically. To ensure you have the most current version of the standard formulary, visit magellanrx.com, or call the Rx Customer Service phone number located on your identification card. Inclusion of a medication on this formulary is not a guarantee of coverage. Please refer to your plan of benefits for coverage limitations and exclusions. Not all benefits plans in all states are subject to quantity limits. For details regarding quantity limits for your particular benefits plan, contact Customer Service at the telephone number listed on your identification card.

Additional Requirements for Coverage or Limits on Certain Medications May Include:Prior AuthorizationYour prescription benefit program may have a prior authorization process for

certain medications. Prior authorization is a requirement that your physician obtain

approval from your health plan to prescribe a specific medication for you. Without

this prior approval, your health plan may not provide coverage for your medication.

If your physician prescribes a medication requiring a prior authorization, you will

need to go through a prior authorization process. We review requests for these

selected medications to help ensure appropriate and safe use of medications for

your medical condition(s). Your physician can call, fax, or submit prior authorization

requests electronically. For a list of select medications that require prior

authorization, please contact Customer Service at the Rx Customer Service phone

number located on your identification card.

Quantity Limits and Step Therapy Your Plan may have additional requirements for coverage or limits for select

prescription medications. These requirements and limits ensure that members

use these medications in the most effective way and also help the Plan control

medication costs. A team of practicing physicians and pharmacists developed these

requirements and limits to help your Plan provide quality coverage to members.

Please consult the formulary on our website for more information.

Quantity LimitsFor certain medications, your Plan may limit the amount of the medication that will

be covered per prescription or for a defined period of time. For example, your Plan

may provide up to 30 units per 30-day period for a formulary medication.

Step TherapyIn some cases, your Plan requires you to first try one

medication to treat your medical condition

before it will cover another medication for that

condition. For example, if Drug A and Drug B

both treat your medical condition, your Plan

may require your physician to prescribe Drug A

first. If Drug A does not work for you, then your

Plan will cover Drug B.

You can find out if the medication

you take is subject to these or

other additional requirements

or limits by looking in

the current formulary on

magellanrx.com, or by

calling Customer Service

at the Rx Customer Service

phone number located on

your identification card.
