A drug formulary, or preferred drug list, is a continually updated list of medications and related products supported by current evidence-based medicine, judgment of physicians, pharmacists and other experts in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and preservation of health. The primary purpose of the formulary is to encourage the use of safe, effective and most affordable medications. Presbyterian Health Plan administers a closed formulary, which means that non-formulary drugs are not routinely reimbursed by the plan. Medical exception policies provide access to non-formulary medication when Medical necessity is established. The medications listed on the formulary are subject to change pursuant to the management activities of Presbyterian Health Plan. For the most up-to-date formulary drug information, visit xxxx://xxxx.xxx.xxx/idc/groups/public/documents/communication/pel_00236101.pdf. Presbyterian will provide material that contains in a clear, conspicuous and readily understandable form, a full and fair disclosure of the plan’s benefits, limitations, exclusions, conditions of eligibility and prior authorization requirements, within a reasonable time after enrollment and at subsequent periodic times as appropriate. The Formulary can change throughout the year. Some reasons why it can change include: • New drugs are approved • Existing drugs are removed from the market • Prescription drugs may become available over the counter (without a prescription) • Brand-name drugs lose patient protection and generic versions become available. • Changes based on new clinical guidelines If we remove drugs from our Formulary, add quantity limits, prior authorization, and/or step therapy restrictions on a drug; or move a drug to a higher Cost Charing tier, we must notify affected members of the change at least 60 days before the change becomes effective. The medications and related products listed on a formulary are determined by a Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P & T) Committee or an equivalent entity. The Presbyterian Health Plan P & T Committee is made up of primary care and specialty physicians, clinical pharmacists and other professionals in the healthcare field. The P&T Committee meets quarterly to promote the appropriate use of drugs, to maintain the Presbyterian formularies, and to support our network of practitioners. Medications chosen for the formulary are selected based on their safety, effectiveness and overall value. A medication may not be added to the formulary if current drugs on the formulary are equally safe and effective and are less costly. Utilization management strategies such as quantity limits, step therapy and prior authorization criteria are reviewed and approved by the P & T committee. Medication coverage criteria is updated and reviewed to reflect current standards of practice. The overall goal of the P & T Committee is to provide a formulary that gives members access to safe, appropriate, and cost-effective medications that will produce the desired goals of therapy at the most reasonable cost to the member and the healthcare system. Changes to the Presbyterian formulary are made effective at least 45 days after the quarterly meeting. If a change to the formulary negatively impacts utilizing members, the members are granted a 60-day transition period. Members impacted will receive a Formulary Change Notification letter with details about the change, the effective date of the change and formulary alternatives if available. Prior Authorization is a clinical evaluation process to determine if the requested Healthcare Service is Medically Necessary, a Covered Benefit, and if it is being delivered in the most appropriate healthcare setting. Our Medical Director or other clinical professional will review the requested Healthcare Service in consultation with your medical provider, and if it meets our requirements for Coverage and Medical Necessity, it is Authorized (approved) before those services are provided. The Prior Authorization process and requirements are regularly reviewed and updated based on various factors including evidence-based practice guidelines, medical trends, Practitioner/Provider participation, state and federal regulations, and our policies and procedures. • Continuation of therapy using any drug is dependent upon its demonstrable efficacy. • Note that the prior use of free prescription medications (i.e. Samples, free goods, etc.) will not be considered in the evaluation of a member’s eligibility for medication coverage. Step Therapy promotes the appropriate use of equally effective but lower-cost formulary drugs first. With this program, prior use of one or more “prerequisite” drugs is required before a step-therapy medication will be covered. Prerequisite drugs are FDA-approved and treat the same condition as the corresponding step- therapy drugs. Formulary drugs may also limit coverage of quantities for certain drugs. These limits help your doctor and pharmacist check that the medications are used appropriately and promote patient safety. Presbyterian uses medical guidelines and FDA-approved recommendations from drug makers to set these coverage limits. Quantity limits include the following: • Maximum Daily Dose limits quantities to a maximum number of dosage units (i.e. tablets, capsules, milliliters, milligrams, doses, etc.) in a single day. Limits are based on daily dosages shown to be safe and effective, and that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). • Quantity Limits over time limits quantities to number of units (i.e. tablets, capsules, milliliters, milligrams, doses, etc.) in a defined period of time.
