To ensure the quality and cost-effectiveness

of medications, your employer, sponsor,

health plan administrator or retirement

group has selected a prescription drug

plan with a formulary. A formulary is a list

of drugs approved by the Food and Drug

Administration that your doctor refers to

when prescribing your medications.

This guide can help you be a more informed

patient. It is not intended to take the place

of your doctor's advice. Please talk to your

doctor about your drug options.

Generic drugs offer the best valuePrescription drugs can be costly, but many are nowavailable as generics. Generic drugs work the sameas brand-name drugs, but cost less. Depending onyour drug benefit, using generic drugs may loweryour copayment. The FDA requires that generic drugshave the identical active ingredients as the equivalentbrand-name drugs, but they may differ from brand-name drugs in color and shape. Since the majordifference between brand-name and generic drugs isprice, your prescription will be filled with the genericequivalent when medically appropriate.

Guide lists most commonlyprescribed drugsOur formulary lists medications available to BCBSMmembers who have a triple-tier or closed (managed)formulary benefit. The formulary represents theclinical judgment of physicians, pharmacists andother experts in the diagnosis and treatment ofdisease and promotion of health.

This guide lists drugs most commonly prescribedfor BCBSM members; it is not a complete listing ofdrugs on our formulary. It encourages you and yourdoctor to select drugs recognized as the safest andmost effective. Referring to this guide can help youunderstand how your drug copayment works andsave money on your prescriptions.

Tier 1 - GenericTier 1 drugs are generic drugs made with the sameactive ingredients, available in the same strengths anddosage forms, and administered in the same ways asequivalent brand-name drugs. Generic drugs have aproven record of effectiveness. They also require thelowest copayment, making them the most cost-effectiveoption for treatment. Look for these drugs under"Tier 1 - Generic" in this guide. Please note that thegenerics are listed according to their better-knownbrand-names. Depending on your drug benefit, selectover-the-counter products may be covered under Tier 1.

Tier 2 -- Formulary brandTier 2 drugs are brand-name drugs included in theformulary. Tier 2 drugs are also safe and effectivebut require a higher copayment than Tier 1 drugs.Look for these drugs under "Tier 2 - Formulary brand"in this guide.

The following chart shows how the copayments work within each tier:

Tier 3 - Nonformulary brandTier 3 drugs are brand-name drugs not included inthe formulary. If you have a triple-tier benefit, youwill pay the highest copayment for these drugs.If you have a closed (managed) formulary benefit,these drugs will not be covered. However, genericequivalents and similar drugs with generic equivalentsor formulary brand-name alternatives are availablefor many of these drugs. If you wish to know if it ispossible to have your prescription changed to oneof the products with a lower copayment, consultwith your physician to see if a change is appropriatefor you. Look for these drugs under "Tier 3 -Nonformulary brand" in this guide.

Authorization and clinical criteriaBCBSM monitors the use of certain medications toensure our members receive the most appropriateand cost-effective drug therapy. Prior authorization forthese drugs means that certain clinical criteria mustbe met before coverage is provided. In the case ofdrugs requiring step therapy, for example, previoustreatment with one or more formulary drugs may berequired. Drugs that must meet clinical criteria areidentified in the formulary list with (PA) or (ST).If your prescription drug plan requires priorauthorization or step therapy, your physician cancontact our pharmacy help desk to request priorauthorization for these drugs.

The criteria for authorization are based on currentmedical information and the recommendations of theBlues' Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, agroup of physicians, pharmacists and other experts.You may be required to pay the full cost of the drug ifyour physician does not obtain prior authorization.

When your doctor prescribes a brand-name drugthat's nonformulary, requires prior authorization, oris not covered under your drug rider, it may not be acovered benefit. BCBSM reviews all physician andmember requests to determine if the drug is medicallynecessary and that there aren't equally effectivealternative drugs on the formulary.
