    FormularyManagement Terms

    Formulary

    A ormulary is a list o Food and DrugAdministration (FDA) approved medications thatthe UPMC Health Plan Pharmacy and Therapeutics

    (P&T) Committee determine will be covered.The P&T Committee, made up o physicians andpharmacists rom communities throughout theUPMC Health Plan service area, decides whichmedications to include in the Your Choiceprogram based on a drugs saety, eectiveness,and cost. The P&T Committees job is to makesure that the Your Choice Pharmacy programprovides you with high-quality, cost-eectiveprescription medications. The P&T Committeereviews and updates the Your Choice ormularyregularly throughout the year.

    The most commonly prescribed Your Choicedrugs are listed in the ormulary section o thisbooklet. Please note that there are other drugcategories and drugs that Your Choice coversbesides the ones listed in the table. For the latestinormation on the Your Choice drug table andother pharmacy benets, visit our website atwww.upmchealthplan.com/pharmacy. SelectYour Choice to access the searchable drug list.Or you may call our Member Advocates at thenumber listed on the back o your UPMC HealthPlan ID card. Another option is to use the Express

    Scripts, Inc., online price check eature to lookor the specic member and exact medication inquestion.

    Medications not on the ormulary are listed inthe Medications Not Covered by Your Choiceand Non-Covered Medications with CoveredAlternatives sections o this booklet.

    Prior Authorization

    I a drug requires prior authorization, your doctormust consult with UPMC Health Plan beore

    prescribing it. Prior authorizations are set on adrug-by-drug basis and require specic criteriaor approval based upon FDA and manuacturerguidelines, medical literature, saety concerns,and appropriate use. Drugs that require priorauthorization may be newer drugs or whichUPMC Health Plan wants to track usage, drugsnot used as a standard rst option in treatinga medical condition, or drugs with potentialside eects that UPMC Health Plan wants tomonitor or patient saety. The UPMC HealthPlan Pharmacy Services Department mustauthorize the use o these drugs beore Your

    Choice will begin to cover them.These drugs are designated with the symbolPA on the ormulary tables in this booklet. Inaddition, new drugs recently approved by theFDA may require prior authorization until theirplacement on the ormulary has been determined.Also, all compounded medications requireprior authorization. The only exceptions arecompounded hormone replacement therapies

    and compounded narcotic analgesics, which arenot covered by the Your Choice benet. All priorauthorization criteria are reviewed by the P&TCommittee.

    Step Therapy

    Step therapy is the practice o using specicmedications rst when beginning drug therapyor a medical condition. The preerred rstcourse o treatment may be drugs that are morecost-eective or considered the standard rst-line treatment. The rules or each step therapy

    medication are built into the computer les oUPMC Health Plans prescription claims processingsystem. Medications that require step therapyare automatically approved i there is a recordthat the member has already tried the preerredmedication(s). I there is no record o the preerredmedication(s) in the members medication history,the physician must submit clinical inormation tothe Health Plan. Once that inormation is received,the Health Plan will make a decision on paymentor the requested medication. Medicationsaected by this process are designated with thesymbol ST on the ormulary listing in this booklet.

    Quantity Limits

    Quantity limits are drug-specic and limit theamounts o certain drugs that can be dispensedduring a specic period o time. For these drugs,the P&T Committee ollows FDA guidelines andother clinical literature to limit how much o thedrug you may receive in a certain period o timeor how long you may stay on the drug.

    Quantity limits promote appropriate use o the

    drug, prevent waste, and control costs. Drugsthat have quantity limits are designated with thesymbol QL on the ormulary tables included inthis booklet.

    Prescriptions or controlled substances arelimited to a 30-day supply.

    For some drugs, the manuacturers dosingguidelines may recommend that patients takethe medication one time a day in a larger dose

  • 8/7/2019 Your Choice Pharm GD

    instead o several times a day in smaller doses. Forthese drugs, Your Choice ollows the guidelinesand covers one larger dose per day. I there is amedical reason that prevents you rom taking themedication once per day in a larger dose, yourdoctor can call the UPMC Health Plan PharmacyServices Department at 1-800-979-UPMC (8762)to request a medical exception or you.

    Brands/GenericsGeneric drugs are cost-eective alternativesthat oer the same level o saety and qualityas their brand-name equivalents. Generic drugshave the same active ingredients as brand-namemedications, but inactive ingredients can vary,such as dyes used to color generic medicationsor powders used to shape the tablets. Thesedierences do not aect how generic medicationswork in the body. Generic drugs deliver the sameamount o active ingredients in the same amounto time as their brand-name equivalents.

    Not all drugs have a generic equivalent. Generally,new drugs are given patent protection or 20years rom the date o submission o the patent.Once the patent expires, other pharmaceuticalcompanies can produce the same drug in ageneric ormulation.

    The FDA regulates generic drug manuacturersjust as it regulates the makers o brand-namemedications. Prior to selling generic medications inthe United States, a company must meet certaincriteria. To gain FDA approval, the maker o ageneric drug must prove that the drugs activeingredients, drug strength, and dosage orm areidentical to those o the corresponding brand-name drug. The generic drug must also pass strictFDA measurements to ensure that it delivers thesame amount o active ingredient in the sametime rame as its brand-name counterpart. Finally,the manuacturer o the generic drug must provethat its product is produced under the same strictguidelines as the brand-name drug.

    The manuacturer can produce the generic

    medicine only ater these requirements are met.Ater approval, the FDA continues to regularlyinspect all manuacturing acilities o both brandand generic products to ensure that only high-quality medications are sold in the United States.

    Generic drugs have the same active ingredientsas their brand-name equivalents, but costsignicantly less. Beore the FDA allows a brand-name drug to be sold in the United States,scientists spend years testing the medication to

    establish its saety and ecacy in treating anillness or condition. Once a brand-name drug isapproved, the company that developed it spendsmillions o dollars to promote the drug throughadvertising and educational programs.

    Companies that make generic drugs do not haveto invest large amounts o money in research,since the brand-name drug manuacturers have

    already done this. In addition, generic companiesdo not market their drugs. As a result, genericdrug manuacturers spend signicantly less moneyon magazine and television advertisements thanbrand-name manuacturers do or their products.Companies that make generic drugs pass thesesavings on to you.

    The Your Choice program requires you touse a generic version o the drug i one isavailable. This means that i you receive a brand-name drug when a generic is available, you mustpay the brand copayment in addition to the retail

    cost dierence between the brand-name andgeneric orms o the drug.
