What are tiers?
Tiers are the different cost levels you pay for a medication. Each tier is assigned a cost, which is determined by your employer or plan sponsor. This is how much you will pay when you fill a prescription. Tier 1 medications are your lowest-cost options. If your medication is placed in Tier 2 or 3, look to see if there is a Tier 1 option available. Discuss these options with your doctor.
Check your benefit plan documents to find out your specific pharmacy plan costs.
$ Drug Tier Includes Helpful Tips
Tier 1 Lowest Cost
Lower-cost, commonly used generic drugs. Some low-cost brands may be included.
Use Tier 1 drugs for the lowest out-of- pocket costs.
Tier 2 Mid-range Cost
Many common brand-name drugs, called preferred brands.
Use Tier 2 drugs, instead of Tier 3, to help reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
Tier 3 Highest Cost
Mostly higher-cost brand drugs, also known as non-preferred brands.
Many Tier 3 drugs have lower-cost options in Tier 1 or 2. Ask your doctor if they could work for you.
Please note: Some plans may have two or four tiers, while others may not have any. If you have a high deductible plan, the tier cost levels will apply once you hit your deductible. Refer to your enrollment and plan materials on your plan’s member website, or call the toll-free member phone number on your ID card for more information about your benefit plan.
When does the Formulary change?
• Medications may move to a lower tier at any time. • Medications may move to a higher tier when its generic becomes available.• Medications may move to a higher tier or be excluded from coverage
on January 1 or July 1 of each year.
When a medication changes tiers, you may have to pay a different amount for that medication.
For the most up-to-date list, call customer service at the toll-free member phone number on your ID card.

Prior Authorizations
What Is Prior Authorization?
A Prior Authorization (PA) is a safety and cost-saving feature of your prescription benefit plan designed to prevent improper prescribing or use of certain drugs that may not be the best choice for a health condition. PAs may be provided in conjunction with quantity limits or step therapy protocols, all of which are designed for the health and safety of members and the good of the plan.
How it works
The pharmacist enters the prescription information into the Optum Rx system at the point of sale. If the client-approved plan design requires a PA for the drug, the pharmacist will receive an alert and may ask the member to contact the prescriber or may have the prescriber contact the Optum Rx Prior Authorization Department for a consultation. Once the incoming information has been assessed, a decision is made. The decision can be an approval, a denial or may be auto-closed due to lack of information.
If authorization is granted, the prescription will be filled. If authorization is not granted at the retail pharmacy, there are two choices:
1. The member may still have the prescription filled by paying the entire retail cost of the drug.
2. The member may ask the prescriber for an alternate drug covered by your benefit, if available.
Please remember to allow more time for the PA process: in most circumstances, approximately two business days for standard prior authorization and approximately one business day for an urgent prior authorization request.
PAs for Medical Necessity
The P&T Committee has approved exception criteria that allow the member to make a request for access to a non-formulary drug when it is determined to be the only safe and effective treatment. The member must submit the following supporting documentation for consideration:
l A physician statement with the name and strength of the alternatives tried or considered
l Evidence the formulary alternatives were unsafe and ineffective, or have known interactions with other drugs the member is taking
Once the information is reviewed, a decision is made to approve for a period of one year, or to deny. This type of request may incur an additional charge per request. For specific drug coverage information, visit www.optumrx.com or contact an Optum Rx representative at 1.855.312.6103.
90-day grace period for exclusions
New client groups with members currently taking excluded medications are given a 90-day period to transition to a formulary product, during which they can continue to obtain the excluded medication. Members will receive a formulary mailing informing them of the new process.
