Section 16 ndash Changes to Part D Prescription Drug Coverage
Changes to Our Drug List
Our list of covered drugs is called a Formulary or ldquoDrug Listrdquo We sent you a copy of our Drug List in this envelope
We made changes to our Drug List including changes to the drugs we cover and changes to the restrictions that apply to our coverage for certain drugs Review the Drug List to make sure your drugs will be covered next year and to see if there will be any restrictions
If you are affected by a change in drug coverage you can
bull Work with your doctor (or other prescriber) and ask the plan to make an exception to cover the drug You can ask for an exception before next year and we will give you an answer before the change takes effect To learn what you must do to ask for an exception see Chapter 9 of your Evidence of Coverage (What to do if you have a problem or complaint (coverage decisions appeals complaints)) or call Member Services
bull Find a different drug that we cover You can call Member Services to ask for a list of covered drugs that treat the same medical condition
If you or your doctor has requested a formulary exception this year and the plan has approved it you will need to request a new formulary exception for the next year if the drug continues to not be covered on the formulary

Section 16 ndash Changes to Part D Prescription Drug Coverage
Changes to Our Drug List

If you are affected by a change in drug coverage you can
bull Work with your doctor (or other prescriber) and ask the plan to make an exception to cover the drug You can ask for an exception before next year and we will give you an answer before the change takes effect To learn what you must do to ask for an exception see Chapter 9 of your Evidence of Coverage (What to do if you have a problem or complaint (coverage decisions appeals complaints)) or call Member Services
bull Find a different drug that we cover You can call Member Services to ask for a list of covered drugs that treat the same medical condition

Section 16 ndash Changes to Part D Prescription Drug Coverage
Changes to Our Drug List
Our list of covered drugs is called a Formulary or ldquoDrug Listrdquo We sent you a copy of our Drug List in this envelope
We made changes to our Drug List including changes to the drugs we cover and changes to the restrictions that apply to our coverage for certain drugs Review the Drug List to make sure your drugs will be covered next year and to see if there will be any restrictions
If you are affected by a change in drug coverage you can
bull Work with your doctor (or other prescriber) and ask the plan to make an exception to cover the drug You can ask for an exception before next year and we will give you an answer before the change takes effect To learn what you must do to ask for an exception see Chapter 9 of your Evidence of Coverage (What to do if you have a problem or complaint (coverage decisions appeals complaints)) or call Member Services
bull Find a different drug that we cover You can call Member Services to ask for a list of covered drugs that treat the same medical condition
If you or your doctor has requested a formulary exception this year and the plan has approved it you will need to request a new formulary exception for the next year if the drug continues to not be covered on the formulary

Most people do not reach the Coverage Gap Stage If you do reach this stage your share of the costs for your drugs will change You stay in this stage until your total ldquooutshyof-pocket costsrdquo (your payments) reach the limit for the Coverage Gap Stage
