    Introduction to the formulary drug list

    The Blue Shield Plus Drug Formulary is a list of medications that are approved by the Food and Drug

    Administration (FDA) and are selected based on safety, effectiveness, and cost. This list of generic and

    brand drugs is covered by your health insurance policy under the prescription drug benefit of the policy.

    Definitions The following words and definitions will be used throughout the formulary drug list.

    Term

    “Brand name drug” is a drug that is marketed under a proprietary, trademark protected name. The

    brand name drug shall be listed in all CAPITAL letters.

    “Coinsurance” is a percentage of the cost of a covered health care benefit that an enrollee pays after

    the enrollee has paid the deductible, if a deductible applies to the health care benefit, such as the

    prescription drug benefit.

    “Copayment” is a fixed dollar amount that an enrollee pays for a covered health care benefit after the

    enrollee has paid the deductible, if a deductible applies to the health care benefit, such as the

    prescription drug benefit.

    “Deductible” is the amount an enrollee pays for covered health care benefits before the enrollee's

    health plan begins payment for all or part of the cost of the health care benefit under the terms of the

    policy.

    “Drug Tier” is a group of prescription drugs that corresponds to a specified cost sharing tier in the health

    plan's prescription drug coverage. The tier in which a prescription drug is placed determines the

    enrollee's portion of the cost for the drug.

    “Enrollee” is a person enrolled in a health plan who is entitled to receive services from the plan. All

    references to enrollees in this this formulary template shall also include subscriber as defined in this

    section below.

    “Exception request” is a request for coverage of a prescription drug. If an enrollee, his or her designee,

    or prescribing health care provider submits an exception request for coverage of a prescription drug,

    the health plan must cover the prescription drug when the drug is determined to be medically

    necessary to treat the enrollee's condition.

    “Exigent circumstances” are when an enrollee is suffering from a health condition that may seriously

    jeopardize the enrollee's life, health, or ability to regain maximum function, or when an enrollee is

    undergoing a current course of treatment using a non-formulary drug.

    “Formulary” is the complete list of drugs preferred for use and eligible for coverage under a health plan

    product, and includes all drugs covered under the outpatient prescription drug benefit of the health

    plan product. Formulary is also known as a prescription drug list.

    “Generic drug” is the same drug as its brand name equivalent in dosage, safety, strength, how it is

    taken, quality, performance, and intended use. A generic drug is listed in bold and italicized lowercase

    letters.

    “Non-formulary drug” is a prescription drug that is not listed on the health plan's formulary.

    “Out-of-pocket costs” are copayments, coinsurance, and the applicable deductible, plus all costs for

    health care services that are not covered by the health plan.

    “Prescribing provider” is a health care provider authorized to write a prescription to treat a medical

    condition for a health plan enrollee.

    “Prescription” is an oral, written, or electronic order by a prescribing provider for a specific enrollee that

    contains the name of the prescription drug, the quantity of the prescribed drug, the date of issue, the

    name and contact information of the prescribing provider, the signature of the prescribing provider if

    the prescription is in writing, and if requested by the enrollee, the medical condition or purpose for

    which the drug is being prescribed.

    “Prescription drug” is a drug that is prescribed by the enrollee's prescribing provider and requires a

    prescription under applicable law.

  • ii

    Term

    “Prior authorization” is a health plan's requirement that the enrollee or the enrollee's prescribing

    provider obtain the health plan's authorization for a prescription drug before the health plan will cover

    the drug. The health plan shall grant a prior authorization when it is medically necessary for the enrollee

    to obtain the drug.

    “Step therapy” is a process specifying the sequence in which different prescription drugs for a given

    medical condition and medically appropriate for a particular patient are prescribed. The health plan

    may require the enrollee to try one or more drugs to treat the enrollee's medical condition before the

    health plan will cover a particular drug for the condition pursuant to a step therapy request. If the

    enrollee's prescribing provider submits a request for step therapy exception, the health plans shall make

    exceptions to step therapy when the criteria is met.

    “Subscriber” means the person who is responsible for payment to a plan or whose employment or other

    status, except for family dependency, is the basis for eligibility for membership in the plan.

    How do I find a drug on this list? The drugs are listed alphabetically under the column titled “Prescription Drug Name” by its brand or

    generic name under the therapeutic category and class to which it belongs. You can search this list using

    the brand or generic name of the drug by:

    • Searching for the category or class to which the drug belongs and search for the name of the

    drug in alphabetical order or

    • Searching the Alphabetical Index of Drugs by the name of the drug.

    Listing a drug on the formulary does not guarantee that it will be prescribed by your doctor or prescriber.

    How do I know if the drug listed is a brand or generic drug? • A generic name for a brand name drug is listed after the brand name of the drug in all lowercase

    bold italics

    o If a generic equivalent for a brand name drug is both available and covered, the

    generic drug will be listed separately from the brand name drug in all lowercase bold

    italics

    o When a generic drug is marketed with a brand name, the brand name will be listed after

    the generic name in parentheses in all CAPITALS.

    • A brand name drug is listed in all CAPITALS followed by the generic name in parentheses in

    lowercase bold italics.

    Example

    Drug Type How the drug name will appear in the

    formulary drug list

    generic drug atorvastatin calcium

    generic drug marketed with a brand name oxycodone/acetaminophen (ENDOCET)

    brand drug LIPITOR (atorvastatin calcium)

    What are drug tiers? Drugs are placed into drug tiers based on defined categories. The amount you pay for drugs in different tiers

    will vary. You can find information about what you pay by drug tier in the Summary of Benefits of your Blue

    Shield Evidence of Coverage (EOC).

    The column titled “Drug Tier” is the cost level you pay for a drug.

    Drug

    Tier† Description

    1 Most generic drugs or low-cost, preferred brand drugs

    2 Non-preferred generic drugs, preferred brand drugs, or drugs recommended by the P&T

  • iii

    Committee based on drug safety, efficacy, and cost

    3 Non-preferred brand drugs; drugs recommended by the P&T Committee based on safety,

    efficacy, and cost; or drugs that generally have a preferred and often less costly therapeutic

    alternative at a lower tier

    4 Drugs that are biologics; drugs that the FDA or drug manufacturer requires to be distributed by

    specialty pharmacies; drugs that require training or clinical monitoring for self-administration; or

    drugs with a plan cost (net of rebates) greater than $600 for a one-month supply

    † Affordable Care Act (ACA) drugs are preventive health drugs, including

    contraceptive drugs and devices. These drugs are covered at $0 when specific criteria

    are met.

    Note about multi-source brand drugs: If you or your doctor choose a brand drug when a generic drug

    equivalent is available, you will pay the difference in cost, plus the Tier 1 copayment or coinsurance. You or

    your doctor can ask for an exception to the difference in cost through the Blue Shield prior authorization

    process. (See “What is the prior authorization/exception request process?” below for more information.)

    You can find information about specific prescription drug benefits and drug benefit exclusions in the Blue

    Shield Evidence of Coverage. For additional information about specific plans, call the customer service

    number on your Blue Shield member ID card.

    Note: Blue Shield drug formularies apply to outpatient prescription drug benefits available through plans

    underwritten by Blue Shield of California (individually and collectively referred to as Blue Shield throughout this

    document).

    How to read the formulary The column titled “Coverage Requirements and Limits” identifies coverage restrictions or limits for drugs when

    applicable.

  • iv

    * Does not apply to grandfathered plans, plans purchased on or before March 23, 2010.

    How often will the formulary change? This formulary is subject to change monthly. Formulary changes that may not have prior notice include the

    following:

    • A brand name drug may be moved to a higher tier or removed from the formulary if a new

    generic drug is added to the formulary,

    • A drug may be removed from the formulary when is it removed from the market because the

    Food and Drug Administration (FDA) deems a drug to be unsafe or the drug’s manufacturer

    removes the drug from the market, or

    • A drug is added to the formulary, moved to a lower tier, or has a utilization management

    requirement removed.

    Formulary changes that will have at least 30-day prior notice to an affected insured before the change is

    effective include the following:

    • Moving a drug or dosage form to a higher tier,

    • Removal of a drug or dosage form from the formulary,

    • Adding or changing utilization management requirements or limits for a drug.

    o When a step therapy utilization management requirement changes, the new requirement

    will not require you to repeat the step therapy if you are already taking the drug for your

    condition as long as the drugs is still appropriate, your provider continues to prescribe the

    drug, and the drug is still considered safe and effective for your condition.

    When a drug or dosage form is removed from the formulary and a drug was previously approved for

    coverage for your medical condition, coverage for the drug will continue if your provider continues to

    prescribe the drug for your condition and the drug is prescribed appropriately and is safe and effective for

    your condition.

    blueshieldca.com/pharmacy.

    What is a medical benefit drug versus a drug covered under the Outpatient

    Prescription Drug Benefit? A medical benefit drug is a drug that is not generally self-administered and administered by a health care

    professional. The outpatient prescription drug benefit includes FDA-approved drugs that are self-

    administered, commonly oral or self-injectable drugs, not otherwise excluded from coverage.

    For additional information, check your Blue Shield Evidence of Coverage or call the customer service

    number on your Blue Shield member ID card.

    What are preventive health drugs? Preventive health drugs are select drugs required by health reform legislation to be covered at no charge

    to the insured.* Preventive health drugs are determined based on evidence-based recommendations by

    the United States Preventive Services Task Force. For more details about preventive health drugs, visit

    blueshieldca.com/pharmacy.

    What is a contraceptive drug or device? Contraceptives are drugs or devices, such as diaphragms or cervical caps, that help prevent pregnancy.

    Most generic drug contraceptives and contraceptive devices are covered at no charge to the insured.* Most

    ST Step Therapy A specific sequence in which prescription drugs for a

    particular medical condition must be tried. If a drug is

    subject to step therapy in this formulary, you may have

    to try one or more other drugs before your health

    insurance policy will cover that drug for your medical

    condition.

  • v

    brand drug contraceptives require a copayment, which may be waived based on medical necessity. Physicians

    or members may provide medical necessity information using the prior authorization process by calling or faxing

    a form to Blue Shield Pharmacy Services. (See “What is the prior authorization/exception request process?”

    below.)

    What diabetes care drugs and products are covered under the Outpatient

    Prescription Drug Benefit? FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of diabetes are included in the formulary drug list. Diabetic testing

    supplies such as blood glucose test strips, urine test strips, lancets, insulin syringes/pens covered under the

    Outpatient Prescription Drug Benefit are also included in the formulary drug list.

    What is step therapy? Step therapy means a specific sequence in which prescription drugs for a particular medical condition must be

    tried. If a drug is subject to step therapy in this formulary, you may have to try one or more other drugs before

    your health insurance policy will cover that drug for your medical condition.

    Step therapy requirements are based on how the FDA recommends that a drug should be used, nationally

    recognized treatment guidelines, medical studies, information from the drug manufacturer, and the relative cost

    of treatment for a condition. Your provider may submit a request for an exception to the step therapy

    requirement.

    To request an exception, please call the customer service number on your Blue Shield member ID card. You,

    your representative, or your doctor may submit an exception request to Blue Shield.

    What is the prior authorization/exception request process? Drug prior authorization involves getting advance approval of coverage for a prescription medication based on

    medical necessity. Some drugs require review of the patient’s prescription and medical history to determine

    coverage.

    The exception process involves requesting coverage of a non-formulary drug. A formulary exception, which

    allows coverage of a non-formulary drug is based on medical necessity.

    To request prior authorization or a non-formulary coverage exception, please call the customer service

    number on your Blue Shield member ID card. You, your representative, or your doctor may submit an

    exception request to Blue Shield.

    Once we receive all the needed supporting information, we will approve or deny the exception request

    based on medical necessity within 72 hours for non-urgent requests, or within 24 hours in urgent or exigent

    circumstances. If Blue Shield denies a request for prior authorization or an exception request, the member, an

    authorized representative, or the provider can file an appeal/grievance with Blue Shield, as described in the

    “Grievance Process” section of the EOC.

    Participating retail pharmacies You can fill prescriptions at any participating (network) pharmacy, unless it is a prescription for a specialty

    drug. Blue Shield contracts with a wide network of retail pharmacies. To find a network pharmacy, visit

    blueshieldca.com/pharmacy.

    What are specialty drugs? Specialty drugs are drugs that may require coordination of care, close monitoring, or extensive patient training

    for self- administration. These requirements generally cannot be met by a retail pharmacy. Specialty drugs

    may also require special handling or manufacturing processes (such as biotechnology), restriction to certain

    physicians or pharmacies, or reporting of certain clinical events to the FDA. Specialty drugs are usually high-

    cost.

    Specialty drugs may require prior authorization for medical necessity by Blue Shield. Most specialty drugs are

  • vi

    available exclusively from a Network Specialty Pharmacy. If coverage is approved, a Network Specialty

    Pharmacy can provide specialty drugs by mail or, upon your request, can transfer the specialty drug to an

    associated retail store for pickup. Call the customer service number on your Blue Shield member ID card or

    visit blueshieldca.com/pharmacy if you have questions about specialty drugs.

    Mail service pharmacy Blue Shield offers an easy-to-use mail service prescription drug program through our contracted mail service

    pharmacy. You can save time and money using the mail service drug program. It can be a convenient way to

    fill maintenance medications for up to a 90-day supply. Maintenance medications are drugs that doctors

    prescribe on an ongoing, regular basis to maintain health. For more information on using the mail service

    prescription benefit, visit blueshieldca.com/pharmacy.
