MEMBER GUIDE TO COVERED MEDICATIONS ON THE BASIC FORMULARY

This guide lists the approved brand name and generic prescription drugs that have been reviewed by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC) and are the only covered medications on BCBSNC’s Basic formulary, a closed formulary. Please refer to this formulary guide for information about medications covered by this formulary, and present this guide to your doctor if you or another covered family member requires a prescription. This guide was current at the time of printing and is subject to change. For a more complete listing of drug coverage and costs, you may use our drug search at bcbsnc.com. You may also call BCBSNC Customer Service at the number listed on the back of your ID card to verify prescription drug benefits.

A formulary is a list of prescription drugs covered by a health plan. BCBSNC Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) Committee reviews medications at least quarterly. This includes ongoing reviews of clinical information about new drugs and reviews of new safety and efficacy information about older drugs. The majority of BCBSNC’s P&T Committee is composed of practicing physicians and pharmacists independent of BCBSNC.

Please refer to your member guide for detailed information regarding your pharmacy benefits, including your benefit design, out-of-pocket costs, non-formulary exception requests and applicable exclusions.

FORMULARY TIERS

The 5-Tier Basic formulary covers many medications approved by the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA), within existing benefits. The plan design determines the member’s payment obligation. Note: Drugs listed as covered on Tier 1 and Tier 2 are generics. Brand names listed for Tier 1 and Tier 2 drugs are for reference only. Brands for which generic equivalents are available are listed on Tier 4 unless indicated otherwise.

5-Tier Formulary

Here are the definitions of each tier for the five-tiered benefit structure:

• Tier 1: Generic medications. Medications listed in Tier 1 have the lowest co-payment.

• Tier 2: Non-preferred generic medications. Medications listed in Tier 2 have the second-lowest co-payment.

• Tier 3: Includes select brand-name drugs recommended by the BCBSNC P&T Committee as preferred brand-name products based on safety, efficacy, and cost.

• Tier 4: Contains 1) brand-name products that, as recommended by the P&T Committee, usually have preferred and often less costly therapeutic alternatives at a lower tier, 2) some brands with therapeutically equivalent generics, and 3) selected biosimilar specialty drugs. Medications listed in Tier 4 have the second-highest co-payment.

• Tier 5: Specialty drugs. Those medications, as classified by the P&T Committee, that generally have unique uses, require special dosing or administration, are typically prescribed by a specialist provider and are significantly more costly than alternative drugs or therapies. This may include biosimilar specialty drugs. Medications listed in Tier 5 generally have the highest co-payment or co-insurance amount.

GENERIC DRUGS

In most cases choosing a generic drug equivalent, when available, will mean significant savings to you. We encourage you to discuss with your physician whether a generic alternative is available as these drugs represent safe, effective treatment options. Especially for drugs that are taken daily and refilled frequently, you will experience the long-term savings of a lower drug payment month after month. If you choose a brand name prescription drug and a generic equivalent is available, you may be subject to a reduced benefit and a higher out-of-pocket expense.

IIBlue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC) April 2013 Basic Formulary

COMPOUNDED PRESCRIPTIONS

Compounded prescriptions contain two or more drugs mixed together. Compounded prescriptions are processed according to member benefits. To be eligible for coverage, compounded medications must contain at least one FDA-approved prescription ingredient and must not be a copy of a commercially available product. All compounded medications may be subject to review and may require prior review.

PRIOR REVIEW, QUANTITY LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTED-ACCESS DRUGS

Certain medications may be subject to prior review, quantity limitations, or restricted-access programs. BCBSNC’s P&T Committee reviews the clinical criteria for these programs.

• Drugs that have prior review requirements must be reviewed by BCBSNC before coverage can be authorized.

• Certain medications may also have limitations on the quantity and days’ supply coverage. Quantities in excess of the coverage limit must be reviewed and approved by BCBSNC before coverage can be authorized for amounts in excess of the limits.

• For coverage of restricted-access and non-formulary drugs, BCBSNC requires that the member has tried preferred formulary drugs first. Coverage for restricted-access drugs may be provided without the use of a preferred drug if the provider certifies in writing that the member has previously used preferred drugs and the preferred drug has been detrimental to the member's health or has been ineffective in treating the same condition and, in the opinion of the provider, are likely to be detrimental to the member's health or ineffective in treating the condition in the future. Clinical rationale and documentation for exception requests may be required. If approval of coverage of a non-formulary drug is granted, the non-formulary non-specialty drug will be covered on the non-preferred brand tier (Tier 4) and the non-formulary specialty drug will be covered on the specialty tier (Tier 5).

The FDA is responsible for approving medications for use based on clinical data proving the medication is safe and effective for that specific use. BCBSNC’s prior review and quantity limitations programs follow FDA-approved uses for these drugs. However, BCBSNC recognizes that in many cases, “off-label” (non-FDA approved) uses of prescription drugs may be acceptable. In determining the acceptability of off-label uses, BCBSNC utilizes several sources of clinical information including but not limited to 1) nationally recognized clinical references including American Hospital Formulary Service Drug Information; 2) the results of at least two randomized controlled clinical studies that support a specific off-label use, and that are published in peer-reviewed professional medical journals; and 3) consultations with internal and external physician experts regarding community standards. Additional searches for current supporting medical literature may be performed utilizing standard electronic databases.

SPECIALTY DRUGS

These medications, as classified by BCBSNC, generally have unique uses, require special dosing or administration, are typically prescribed by a specialist provider and are significantly more costly than alternative drugs or therapies. Most specialty drugs can be found on Tier 5, but some are found on Tier 4.

Some of these specialty drugs will need to be filled at a participating specialty pharmacy in our network. These drugs are identified in the specialty column of the formulary guide. Call the customer service number on the back of your ID card to determine which pharmacy can fill your specialty drug prescription.

1 The first column of the chart lists the medication name. Generic medications are listed in lowercase boldface (e.g., ampicillin). Brand name medications are capitalized (e.g., SUPRAX).

Separate medication entries are required for some dosage forms such as extended-release and delayed-release.

2 The second column indicates the Tier level.

3 The third column indicates if the medication is a Specialty medication and needs to be filled at a participating

specialty pharmacy in our network.

4 The remaining columns indicate the Pharmacy Program(s) that apply to the prescription medication (e.g.,

Prior Review, Quantity Limitations, and Restricted Access). If an indicator is present in the column(s), then the Pharmacy Program applies.
