Off-label use means the prescribed use of a drug that’s other than that stated in its FDA-approved labeling. Benefits aren’t available for any drug when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined its use to be contra-indicated, or for experimental or investigational drugs not otherwise approved for any indication by the FDA. This benefit uses a specific list of covered prescription drugs, sometimes referred to as a “formulary.” Our Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, which includes medical practitioners and pharmacists from the community, frequently reviews current medical studies and pharmaceutical information. The Committee then makes recommendations on which drugs are included on our drug lists. The drug lists are updated quarterly based on the Committee’s recommendations. The formulary includes both generic and brand name drugs. Consult the Pharmacy Benefit Guide or RX Search tool listed on our web page, or contact Customer Service for a complete list of your plan’s covered prescription drugs. Your provider may request that you get a non-formulary drug or a dose that is not on the drug list. Under some circumstances, a non-formulary drug may be covered if one of the following is true: There is no formulary drug or alternative available You cannot tolerate the formulary drug The formulary drug or dose is not safe or effective for your condition You must also provide medical records to support your request. We will review your request and let you know in writing if it is approved. If approved, your cost will be as shown on the Summary of Your Costs for formulary generic and brand name drugs. If your request is not approved, the drug will not be covered. If you disagree with our decision you may ask for an appeal. See Complaints and Appeals for details.
