  • 12013 Complete drug list

    The plan is designed to help you manage your prescription drug costs. An important part of this is giving you choices so you and your doctor can choose the best course of treatment for you.

    A formulary is a list of the drugs covered by a Medicare Advantage prescription drug plan in consultation with a team of health care providers, which represents the prescription therapies believed to be a necessary part of a quality treatment program. The plan will generally cover the drugs listed in the formulary as long as the drug is medically necessary, the prescription is filled at a plan network pharmacy and other plan rules are followed. For more information on how to fill your prescriptions, please review your Evidence of Coverage.

    With your doctors help, you can use this drug list as a tool to choose the drugs that work best for you and to find lower-cost drugs if needed.

    using the drug listThere are two ways to find your prescription drugs in this complete drug list:

    1. Alphabetical list (index): Turn to the Index of covered drugs section, which begins on page 62, to see the list of drug names in alphabetical order.

    2. Medical condition: Turn to the Covered drugs by category section, which begins on page 8, to look for drug names based on your medical conditions. For example, if you want to find drugs used to treat high cholesterol, go to the Cardiovascular Drugs category and look under Cholesterol Control Drugs.

    Is it a generic or brand name drug?The drug list shows brand name drugs in bold type (for example, Crestor) and generic drugs in plain type (for example, Simvastatin).

    More information about your drugSome drugs have requirements or limits. Please see the Requirements and limits section on page 4 for more information on drugs you may use.

    This document is a complete list of covered drugs. If your drug is not included in this drug list, the plan may still cover it. Contact Customer Service to ask if its covered, or go to www.UHCRetiree.com to look it up online. If you learn that the plan does not cover your drug, you have two options:

    1. You can ask Customer Service for a list of similar drugs that are covered by the plan. When you receive the list, show it to your doctor and ask him or her to prescribe a similar drug that is covered by the plan.

    2. You can ask the plan to make an exception and cover your drug. See the Coverage decisions section on page 5 for information about how to request an exception.

  • 2Drug tiers and drug payment stagesThe amount you pay for a covered drug will depend on:

    Your drug payment stage. The plan has different stages of drug coverage. When you fill a prescription, the amount you pay depends on the stage youre in.

    The drug tier for your drug. Each covered drug is in one of four drug tiers. Each tier may have a different copay or coinsurance amount. The chart below shows the differences between the tiers.

    For more information about drug payment stages and copay or coinsurance amounts for each tier, please refer to the plans Evidence of Coverage (EOC).

    If you qualify for extra helpIf you qualify for extra help for your prescription drugs, your copays and coinsurance may be lower. Members who qualify for extra help will receive the Evidence of Coverage Rider for People Who Get Extra Help Paying for Prescription Drugs (LIS Rider). Please read it to find out what your costs are. You can also contact Customer Service.

    Drug Tier Includes

    Tier 1: Preferredgeneric

    Most genericdrugs.

    Tier 2: Preferred brand

    Many common brand name drugs, called preferred brands, and some higher-cost generic drugs.

    Tier 3: Non-preferred brand

    Non-preferred generic and non-preferred brand name drugs.

    Tier 4: Specialty tier

    Unique and/or very high-cost drugs.

  • 3Generic drugsThe plan covers both brand name and generic drugs. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires a generic drug to have the same active ingredient as the brand name drug. Using generic drugs, whether preferred or non-preferred, may save you money on your copays or coinsurance and may help you stay out of the coverage gap if you have one.

    VaccinesThe plan covers a number of Part D vaccines. Our coverage may include the cost of both the vaccine medication and the administration of the vaccine shot. Some vaccines, like those for the flu and pneumonia, may be covered by Medicare Part B (doctor and outpatient health care).

    For the best coverage, the plan recommends that you get vaccines at a network pharmacy if your state allows it. The administration fee likely will be lower at a network pharmacy than at your doctors office. If you get your vaccines at your doctors office, you will pay the entire cost of the vaccine and administration fee to your doctor.

    Please see your Evidence of Coverage for more information about vaccines and their costs.

    To make sure a recommended vaccine is covered, call Customer Service at the number located on the back of your ID card.

  • 4requirements and limitsSome of the plans drugs have requirements or limits to help ensure safe, effective and affordable use. If your drug has any requirements or limits, there will be a code(s) in the Requirements & Limits column of the drug list starting on page 8. The codes and what they mean are shown below.

    You and your doctor may ask the plan for an exception to the requirement and/or limit for your drug. See the Coverage decisions section on the next page or your Evidence of Coverage to learn more.

    If you do not get prior approval from the plan for a drug with a requirement or limit, you may be responsible for paying the full cost of the drug.

    B/D Medicare Part B or Part DDepending on how this drug is used, it may be covered by either Medicare Part B (doctor and outpatient health care) or Medicare Part D (prescriptiondrugs). Your doctor may need to provide the plan with more information about how this drug will be used to make sure its correctly covered byMedicare.

    la Limited accessDrugs are considered limited access if the FDA says the drug can be given out only by certain facilities or doctors. These drugs may require extra handling, provider coordination or patient education that cant be done at a network pharmacy.

    Pa Prior authorizationThe plan requires you or your doctor to get prior authorization for certain drugs. This means the plan needs more information from your doctor to make sure the drug is being used correctly for a medical condition covered by Medicare. If you dont get approval, the plan may not cover the drug.

    ST Step therapyThere are effective, lower-cost drugs that treat the same medical condition as this drug. You may be required to try one or more of these other drugs before the plan will cover your drug. If you have already tried other drugs or your doctor thinks they are not right for you, you or your doctor can ask the plan to cover thisdrug.

    For more information about requirements and limits, call Customer Service at the number located on the back of your ID card.

  • 5 Generally, the plan will only approve your request for an exception if the alternative drugs included in the plans formulary, the lower-tiered drug or additional utilization restrictions would not be effective in treating your condition and/or would cause you to have adverse medical effects.

    Asking for a coverage decisionYou (or your authorized representative) and your doctor can ask for an initial coverage decision by calling Customer Service at the number located on the back of your ID card.

    When you are requesting a formulary, tiering or utilization restriction exception, your prescriber or physician should submit a statement supporting your request.

    See your Evidence of Coverage for more information.

    Receiving a coverage decisionGenerally, the plan will make a coverage decision within 72 hours after receiving your prescribing physicians statement. You can request an expedited, or fast, decision if you or your doctor believe your health requires it. If the plan agrees to a fast decision, you will receive a decision within 24 hours after the plan receives your prescribers or prescribing physicians supporting statement.

    Coverage decisionsAt times you may need to ask for drug coverage thats not normally provided by the plan. When you do, the plan will consider your request and respond with a coverage decision (coverage determination).

    Examples of coverage decisions you may ask for include:

    Asking the plan to pay you back for the cost of a drug you bought at an out-of-network pharmacy. Asking for an exception to the plans coverage rules.

    How to request an exceptionYou can ask the plan to make an exception to the coverage rules. There are several types of exceptions that you can ask the plan to make.

    You can ask the plan to cover your drug even if it is not on the formulary (formulary exception).

    You can ask the plan to waive coverage restrictions or limits on your drug (utilization exception).

    You can ask the plan to provide a higher level of coverage for your drug (tier exception). If your drug is in the non-preferred tier/the highest tier subject to the tiering exceptions

    process, you can ask the plan to cover it at the cost-sharing amount that applies to drugs in the preferred tier/lowest tier subject to the tiering exception process tier instead. This would lower the amount you must pay for your drug. Please note, if we grant your request to cover a drug that is not in the plans formulary, you may not ask us to provide a higher level of coverage for the drug. Tiering exceptions are not available for drugs in the specialty tier.

  • 6Drug list changesThe plan recognizes that drug list stability is very important to you. That is why the plan tries to make as few changes to the drug list as possible during the plan year. From time to time, drug list changes may be necessary for safety or other reasons.

    The drug list may change throughout the year when the plan:

    Adds a new drug. Removes a drug. Changes the requirements or limits for a drug. Moves a drug to a lower-cost tier. Moves a drug to a higher-cost tier.

    If the FDA declares a drug to be unsafe or the drugs manufacturer removes the drug from the market, the plan will immediately remove the drug from the drug list and inform affected members. If a drug moves to a higher-cost tier or undergoes some other change, the plan will inform affected members at least 60 days before the change or at the time the member requests a refill of the drug, at which time the member will receive a 60-day supply of the drug.

    Generally, if you are taking a drug on the 2013 drug list that was covered at the beginning of the year, the plan will not remove the drug from the drug list or move a drug to a higher tier during the 2013 coverage year except when a new, less expensive generic equivalent drug becomes available (for example, the brand name drug moves to a higher tier and the less expensive drug is on the lower tier), or when new information about the safety or effectiveness of a drug is released.

    Other types of changes, such as removing a drug from the drug list, will not affect members who are currently taking the drug. It will remain available at the same cost-sharing for those members taking it for the remainder of the coverage year. It is important that you have continued access for the remainder of the coverage year to the list of drugs that were available when you chose the plan, except for cases in which you can save additional money or your safety is a concern.

    If there are changes to the drug list such as regular or necessary updates, members may see information in the Explanation of Benefits statement, member newsletters or other member mailings. If there are changes to the drug list outside of regular or necessary updates, members may receive a special mailing. The plan website also has updated information.

  • 7Transition supply process New or continuing membersAs a new or continuing member in the plan, you may be taking drugs that are not on the formulary. Or you may be taking a drug that is on the formulary but your ability to get it is limited. For example, you may need prior authorization before you can fill your prescription. You should talk to your doctor to decide if you should switch to an appropriate drug that the plan covers, or request a formulary exception so that the plan will cover the drug you take. While you talk to your doctor to determine the right course of action for you, the plan may cover your drug in certain cases during the first 90 days you are a member of the plan.

    For each of your drugs that is not on the formulary, or if your ability to get your drugs is limited, the plan will cover a temporary 30-day supply (unless you have a prescription written for fewer days) when you go to a network pharmacy. After your first 30-day supply, the plan will not pay for these drugs, even if you have been a member of the plan less than 90 days.

    Long-term care facility residentsIf youre a resident of a long-term care facility, the plan will allow you to refill your prescription until we have provided you with a 91-day transition supply of the drug consistent with dispensing increment (unless your prescription is for fewer days). The plan will also cover one or more refills for the first 90 days of your membership. If you need a drug thats not on the drug list or if you have limited ability to get your drugs but you are past the first 90 days of your plan membership, the plan will cover a 31-day emergency supply of the drug (unless your prescription is for fewer days) while you request a formulary exception.

    Other transitionsYou may have an unplanned transition, like a hospital discharge or a change in your level of care, after the first 90 days of your plan membership. If this happens and your doctor prescribes a drug thats not on the drug list, or if its difficult for you to get your drugs, you are required to use the plans exception process. You may ask for a one-time emergency supply of up to 31 days to give you time to talk to your doctor about other treatment options or to try to get a formulary exception.
