The BlueCross BlueShield Medicaid Formulary Guide is a list of drugs to help guide physicians and phar-macists to select the medication that provides the appropriate treatment for the best price.

IntroductIon

BlueCross Blue Shield of Western New York has established an independent committee of practicing physicians and a pharmacist to help ensure that our formularies are medically sound and that they support your patients’ health. This committee—called the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee—reviews and evaluates medications on the formulary based on safety and efficacy to help maintain clinical integrity in all therapeutic categories.

Formularies In order to serve the diverse needs of patients and their plan sponsors, BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York makes available this formulary design:

Closed Formulary—Features the requirement that prescribed drugs must be on the formulary in order for the member to receive coverage. If a prescription is written for a medication that is not on the formulary, the patient will be responsible for the full cost. If special circumstances necessitate that the patient take the nonpreferred drug, prescribers may request a coverage review. If coverage is approved, the medication will be covered. If coverage is not approved, the patient will be responsible for the full cost of the medication.

understandIng the symbols used throughout thIs book

Throughout this book, you will see certain symbols that indicate a management program is in place for selected medications. The symbols are as follows:

Key

P = A step edit applies to this drug. Step therapy means that in order to receive the medication with a step edit, a preferred medication must be tried first.

z = Specific quantity limits apply. Quantity limits are in place to ensure members receive the appropriate amount of medication not to exceed the maximum allowable daily dosage of medication.

= Prior authorization required. Prior authorization (also referred to as coverage review) means that a healthcare professional must submit clinical documentation to obtain approval for a member to receive the medication. Prior authorizations ensure medications are being used appropriately.

u = Included in tablet-splitting program. The medication can be cut in half to obtain the daily dose of medication (i.e., 20mg daily of simvastatin can be obtained by 1/2 tablet of simvastatin 40mg). A member will receive a 1-month supply for half their regular 1-month copay.

+ = Access restricted to network specialty pharmacies. Medications must be obtained through a specialty pharmacy.

usIng thIs formulary book to help contaIn costs

We realize that the formulary may not include every drug from every manufacturer. However, using a generic or preferred drug can help you stay healthy at a more affordable cost.

Save Money on Your Prescription Drugs

Here’s what you can do to save money:

1. Bring this member guide to your doctor and review the cost-saving information below.

2. Ask your doctor whether a drug listed in this guide is right for you.

Lowest cost to you Highest cost to you

The amount you pay for a drug is determined by which medication you purchase and where it appears on the guide. Some drug plans also exclude certain drugs or classes of drugs from coverage. Please check your contract or other plan documents if you have a question about your specific drug coverage.

Finding Medications in the Guide

This guide lists medications two different ways:

Section 1: Alphabetically by drug category (such as Diabetes, Heart or Pain/Arthritis)

Locate a category on the guide to see what drugs are on the formulary. Generic drugs are listed as G and brand drugs are listed with a B.

Section 2: Alphabetically by drug name. Use this list to find your drug.

Questions? Please call Member Services at 1-866-544-7948 if you have any questions about the BlueCross BlueShield Medicaid Formulary Guide. For the most up-to-date version of the Guide, visit the Pharmacy Services section of our web site at www.bcbswny.com/NYSdrug.

Disclaimer: The BlueCross BlueShield Medicaid/Family Health Plus Formulary Guide is subject to change, as we regularly review medications and existing therapies for inclusion in the BlueCross BlueShield Medicaid Formulary Guide. The tier that a medication is currently in may change during the effective dates of the guides due to generic availability.
