Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas October 2019 Balanced Drug List I

Introduction

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) is pleased to present the 2019 Drug List. All available covered

drugs are shown on this list. Drugs that are not shown are not covered. Members are encouraged to show this

list to their physicians and pharmacists. Physicians are encouraged to prescribe drugs on this list, when

right for the member. However, decisions regarding therapy and treatment are always between members

and their physician.

Drug List updates – This list is regularly updated as generic drugs become available and changes take place in

the pharmaceuticals market. For the most up-to-date information, visit MyPrime.com or bcbstx.com and log in or

call the number on your ID card. Physicians can access the list from the provider portal at bcbstx.com.

How drugs are selected

Drugs on this list are selected based on the recommendations of a committee made up of physicians and

pharmacists from throughout the country. The committee, which includes at least one representative from your

health plan, reviews drugs regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Both drugs that are newly approved by the FDA as well as those that have been on the market for some time are

considered. Drugs are selected based on safety, efficacy, cost and how they compare to other drugs currently on

the list. Newly marketed drugs may not be covered until the committee has had an opportunity to evaluate based

on these criteria.

How member payment is determined

Generally, each prescription drug product is placed into one of up to six member payment tiers: Preferred Generic

(Tier 1), Non-Preferred Generic (Tier 2), Preferred Brand (Tier 3), Non-Preferred Brand (Tier 4), Preferred

Specialty (Tier 5) and Non-Preferred Specialty (Tier 6). Depending on your benefit plan, drugs can either be in

these tiers or you may have fewer tiers, e.g. all generics in one tier. Note: Some brands may be in a generic tier

and some generics may be in a brand tier. To verify your payment amount for a drug, visit myprime.com and log

in or call the number on your ID card.

Your pharmacy benefit includes coverage for many prescription drugs, although some exclusions may

apply. For example, drugs indicated for cosmetic purposes, e.g., Propecia, for hair growth, may not be covered.

Drugs that have not received FDA approval may not be covered. Prescription products that have over-the-counter

(OTC) equivalents may not be covered. Drugs that are not FDA-approved for self-administration may be available

through your medical benefit.

How to use this list

Generic drugs are shown in lower-case boldface type. Most generic drugs are followed by a reference brand

drug in (parentheses). Some generic products have no reference brand.

Example: atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Brand drugs are listed in all CAPITAL letters.

Example: PROAIR HFA

• Preferred Generics are marked with a “p” and shown in lower-case boldface type

• Non-Preferred Generics are marked with a “np” and shown in lower-case boldface type

• Preferred Brands are marked with a “P” and shown in all CAPITAL letters

• Non-Preferred Brands are marked with a “NP” and shown in all CAPITAL letters

• Preferred Specialty Drugs are marked with a “P” and shown as lower-case boldface type or in all

CAPITAL letters. These drugs are also marked with a dot in the Specialty column.

• Non-Preferred Specialty Drugs are marked with a “NP” and shown as lower-case boldface type or in all CAPITAL letters. These drugs are also marked with a dot in the Specialty column.

• Drugs that are also marked with a “+” indicate group-specific coverage. Please see your benefit plan materials for coverage details, or call the number on the back of your member ID card.

Drugs used to treat multiple conditions

Some drugs in the same dosage form may be used to treat more than one medical condition. In these instances,

each medication is classified according to its first FDA-approved use. Please check the index if you do not find

your particular medication in the class/condition section that corresponds to your use.

Please note: Drugs that need a health care provider to administer them and are often given to you in a hospital,

doctor’s office or other health care setting may be covered under your medical benefit. Some types of these drugs

are contraceptive implants and chemo infusions. If you are taking or are prescribed a drug that is not on this drug

list, call the number on your ID card to see if the drug may be covered.

Generic drugs

Using generic drugs, when right for you, can help you save on your out-of-pocket medication costs. Generic drugs

must be approved by the FDA just as brand drugs are, and must meet the same standards.

There are two types of generic drugs:

• A generic equivalent is made with the same active ingredient(s) at the same dosage as the reference drug.

• A generic alternative is a drug typically used to treat the same condition, but the active ingredient(s)

differs from the brand drug.

According to the FDA, compared to its brand counterpart, an FDA-approved generic drug:

• Is chemically the same

• Works just as well in the body

• Is as safe and effective

• Meets the same standards set by the FDA

The main difference between the reference brand drug and the generic equivalent is that the generic often costs

much less.

Brand drugs will be removed from the drug list after a generic equivalent becomes available.

You may be responsible for your member share payment amount (copay/coinsurance) plus the difference in cost

between the brand and generic equivalent if you or your doctor requests the reference brand rather than the

generic equivalent. Generic drugs generally have the lowest member payment amount.

Consider talking to your doctor about generic drugs

If your doctor writes a prescription for a brand drug that does not have a generic equivalent, consider asking if an

appropriate generic alternative is available.

You can also let your pharmacist know that you would like a generic equivalent for a brand drug, whenever one is

available. Your pharmacist can usually substitute a generic equivalent for its brand counterpart without a new

prescription from your doctor.

Only your doctor can determine whether a generic alternative is right for you and must prescribe the medication.

Coverage considerations

Most prescription drug benefit plans provide coverage for up to a 30-day supply of medication, with some

exceptions. Your plan may also provide coverage for up to a 90-day supply of maintenance medications.

Maintenance medications are those drugs you may take on an ongoing basis for conditions such as high blood

pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol. Some plans may exclude coverage for certain agents or drug categories,

like those used for erectile dysfunction or weight loss. Also, some drugs may only be covered for members within

a certain age range due to the drug being used for cosmetic purposes or for safety concerns. Drug coverage may

be limited to recommendations based on FDA-approved labeling and recognized evidence-based or clinical

practice guidelines.

Over-the-counter exclusions: Your benefit plan may not provide coverage for prescription medications that

have an over-the-counter version. You should refer to your benefit plan material for details about your particular

benefits.

Compounded medications: Your benefit plan may not provide coverage for compounded medications. Please

see your plan materials or call the number on your ID card to determine whether compounded medications are

covered and/or verify your payment amount.

Repackaged medications: Repackaged versions of medications already available on the market are not covered.

Non FDA-approved drugs: Drugs that have not received FDA approval are not covered.

Prior Authorization (PA): Your benefit plan may require prior authorization for certain drugs. This means that your

doctor will need to submit a prior authorization request for coverage of these medications, and the request will need

to be approved, before the medication may be covered under your plan. For the medications listed in this

document, if a prior authorization is commonly required, it will generally be noted next to the medication with a dot

under the prior authorization column. Some plans may have prior authorization on additional medications beyond

those noted in this document. Refer to your benefit plan materials for details about your particular benefits.

Step Therapy (ST): Your benefit plan may include a step therapy program. This means you may need to try

another proven, cost-effective medication before coverage may be available for the drug included in the program.

Many brand drugs have less-expensive generic or brand alternatives that might be an option for you. For the

medications listed in this document, if a step therapy is commonly required, it will generally be noted next to the

medication with a dot under the step therapy column. Some plans may have step therapy programs on additional

medications beyond those noted in this document. Refer to your benefit plan materials for details about your

particular benefits.

Dispensing Limits (DL): Drug dispensing limits help encourage medication use as intended by the FDA.

Dispensing limits are placed on medications in certain drug categories. For the medications listed in this document,

if a dispensing limit applies, it will generally be noted next to the medication with a dot under the dispensing limits

column. Limits may include: quantity of covered medication per prescription or quantity of covered medication in a

given time period. If your doctor prescribes a greater quantity of medication than what the dispensing limit allows,

you can still get the medication. However, you may be responsible for the full cost of the prescription beyond what

your coverage allows.* For a list of medications and their dispensing limits, visit myprime.com.

*Please note: For certain controlled substance medications, some state laws may not allow coverage by a health

benefit plan of such medication if dispensed in a quantity beyond what the dispensing limit allows. You will be

responsible for the full cost of the prescription with no benefits applied if the dispensed quantity exceeds the

dispensing limit.

Remember, medication decisions are between you and your doctor. Only you and your doctor can determine which medication is right for you. Discuss any questions or concerns you have about medications you are taking or are prescribed with your doctor. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas does not provide health care services and, therefore, cannot guarantee any results or outcomes.

Specialty drugs

Specialty drugs are used in the treatment of medical conditions such as hepatitis, hemophilia, multiple sclerosis

and rheumatoid arthritis. Specialty drugs may be oral, topical or injectable medications that can either be

self-administered or administered by a health care professional. For a current list of specialty medications,

visit MyPrime.com.

Note that some drug classes may be excluded by some plans and therefore may not be covered under your

pharmacy benefit. Your plan may have a different coverage level for self-administered specialty drugs. If you

have questions about your coverage for specialty medications or your prescription drug benefit, call the

number on your ID card.
