In instances where the treating physician disagrees with the recommendations of the PBM as to which medication to prescribe for the member the physician’s prescribing recommendation shall prevail except in instances where filling that prescription would violate Federal or State laws, guidelines, and/or regulations. In those instances where the treating physician’s recommendation prevails, the member shall not be required to pay more than the member’s cost identified in the prescription plan negotiated between the Union and the Employer requires.
