EFFECTIVE 10/01/2016

INTRODUCTION

The Blue Rx Complete formulary is a list of drugs covered under your

pharmacy benefit and developed to serve as a guide for physicians,

pharmacists, healthcare professionals and members in the selection of

cost-effective drug therapy. Wellmark recognizes that drug therapy is an

integral part of effective health management. The vast availability of

drug options, however, warrants a reasonable program for drug selection

and use.

Wellmark continually reviews new and existing drugs to ensure the

formulary remains responsive to the needs of our members and health

professionals. Criteria used to evaluate drug selection for the formulary

includes, but is not limited to safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness data,

as well as comparison of relevant benefits of similar prescription or over-

the-counter (OTC) agents while minimizing potential duplications.

The formulary is a continually reviewed and modified document that

represents covered drugs under your pharmacy benefit. This dynamic

process does not allow this document to be completely accurate at all

times. To accommodate regular changes, an updated electronic version

of this formulary is available online at www.Wellmark.com. Wellmark

welcomes your input and feedback on the information provided in this

document.

FORMULARY OVERVIEW

The Blue Rx Complete formulary is continually changing to reflect new

advances in drug treatment therapies and current practices of Wellmark

providers. Due to the rapidly changing environment, this process ensures

appropriate formulary review and tier placement. To continue to provide

Blue Rx Complete Formulary ©2016 Wellmark, Inc. 2

sustainable pharmacy benefits and access to needed cost-effective

treatments, concentrated evaluation and analysis of drug products in

formularies is accomplished through this process.

Wellmark has developed the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee

(P&T) to ensure all drugs in the Blue Rx Complete formulary and new

drugs approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration

(FDA) are reviewed by licensed physicians actively practicing medicine in

Iowa and South Dakota. In addition, the process allows P&T members

the opportunity to receive evidence-based clinical data and make clinical

recommendations for formulary placement and utilization management.

The entire Wellmark formulary is reviewed annually by P&T including all

new drugs approved by the FDA.

The P&T includes licensed physicians and pharmacists. These clinicians

serve in an evaluation, education and advisory capacity to the Wellmark

Pharmacy program specific to the coverage and limitations of drugs on

the Wellmark formularies. Through review and discussion, P&T votes

whether the drug or drug class is therapeutically unique, similar or

inferior to existing treatment options. In addition, the P&T makes

utilization management recommendations to Wellmark for consideration

when there are therapeutically interchangeable alternatives.

The P&T meets quarterly to evaluate drugs requested for addition to the

Wellmark formularies, reviews existing drugs in the Wellmark formularies

and establishes recommendations for utilization management.

HOW TO READ THE FORMULARY

All drugs are listed by their generic names and/or most common

proprietary (brand) name. Specific drug listings may be accessed either

by generic (in lowercase) or brand name (in uppercase) and by

therapeutic drug tier. Any drug not found in this formulary listing, or any

formulary updates published by Wellmark, shall be considered excluded

from your benefit.

Once the product is located, the following items can be viewed:

Page 3: Wellmark Blue Rx Complete Formulary · Blue Rx Complete Formulary ©2016 Wellmark, Inc. 7 OTC drugs or their equivalents unless otherwise specified in the formulary listing. Drug

Blue Rx Complete Formulary ©2016 Wellmark, Inc. 3

Drug Tier: Drugs are categorized within tiers on the formulary. Each tier

is assigned a cost, which is determined by the member's pharmacy

benefit plan.

Specialty Drugs (SP-P): Specialty drugs are high-cost injectable,

infused, oral or inhaled drugs for the ongoing treatment of a chronic

condition. These drugs generally require close supervision and

monitoring of the patient's drug therapy. Specialty drugs may be

categorized within tiers on the formulary or as drugs covered under your

medical benefit.

Specialty Drugs Preferred (SP-P): Drugs in this category will

process with the preferred specialty drug cost-share.

Specialty Drugs Non-Preferred (SP-NP): Drugs in this category

will process with the non-preferred specialty cost-share, and will

have a higher cost share than preferred specialty drugs.

Specialty pharmacies specialize in the delivery and clinical management

of specialty drugs. Wellmark has two preferred specialty pharmacy

providers: Caremark Specialty Pharmacy and Hy-Vee Pharmacy

Solutions. You can find more information about their services at

www.Wellmark.com.

Drug Name: This lists the generic name for the product (lowercase) OR

the brand name or common reference name for the product

(UPPERCASE).

Requirements/Limits: This lists Wellmark Pharmacy programs that

may impact a particular drug or class of drugs and are described below:

Prior Authorization (PA): This indicates a drug requires prior

authorization before it is covered under your benefit. Your health

care provider will need to contact our Pharmacy program at 1-800-

Page 4: Wellmark Blue Rx Complete Formulary · Blue Rx Complete Formulary ©2016 Wellmark, Inc. 7 OTC drugs or their equivalents unless otherwise specified in the formulary listing. Drug

Blue Rx Complete Formulary ©2016 Wellmark, Inc. 4

600-8065. Hours of operation are Monday - Friday: 8 a.m. to 6

p.m. CST

Prior authorization review of prescribing guidelines will be evaluated

utilizing the established drug review criteria approved by Wellmark.

If the request does not meet the approved criteria, the request will

not be approved and alternative therapy may be recommended

along with the proper course of alternative action. A list of edits

recommended by Wellmark is available upon request. Members

should call Wellmark Customer Service at the number listed on the

back of their ID card if they have questions regarding their specific

coverage.

Medical Necessity Prior Authorization (MN-PA): This indicates

a drug requires prior authorization before it is covered under your

benefit. Your health care provider will need to contact our Pharmacy

program at 1-800-600-8065. Hours of operation are Monday -

Friday: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. CST

The intent of formulary medical necessity prior authorization is to

confirm the appropriate coverage of the target drugs when evidence

is provided documenting a trial and failure of the preferred

formulary alternatives or a clinical reason such as expected adverse

reaction or contraindication that prevents the patient from trying

the formulary alternatives. These criteria apply to all medications

subject to formulary medical necessity not otherwise managed

through drug specific criteria. Members should call Wellmark

Customer Service at the number listed on the back of their ID card

if they have questions regarding their specific coverage.

Quantity Limits (QL): Wellmark typically covers a 30-day supply

for prescriptions per co-pay. Some drugs, however, have a quantity

limit. Amounts over the specified quantity limits are not a covered

benefit. Quantity limits are in place to ensure the drug is being used

correctly and other treatments are not appropriate. Most people

would not need to take these drugs more often than what Wellmark

allows.

No special steps are necessary by the physician or member to have

these drugs covered as long as the drugs prescribed do not exceed

quantity limits. A few drugs may also require prior authorization

Page 5: Wellmark Blue Rx Complete Formulary · Blue Rx Complete Formulary ©2016 Wellmark, Inc. 7 OTC drugs or their equivalents unless otherwise specified in the formulary listing. Drug

Blue Rx Complete Formulary ©2016 Wellmark, Inc. 5

(for example, Viagra). If you require one of these drugs in a larger

quantity than is allowed, your physician may make a special

request for coverage. Your physician may be asked to provide

details about your medical condition and treatment plan. After

reviewing the information, coverage will be evaluated based on

medical necessity.

Your benefits certificate, coverage manual, or policy has specific

information about your plan's prior authorization requirements.

Preventive Drugs (PV): Preventive drugs are defined by the

Internal Revenue Service. Preventive drugs are prescribed to

prevent the occurrence of a disease or condition with risk factors

such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, asthma,

heart attack and stroke, or to prevent the recurrence of the disease

or condition for individuals who have recovered. Preventive drugs

do not include drugs used to treat an existing illness, injury or

condition.

For some pharmacy plans that require you to pay a certain amount

before the plan coverage begins, preventive drugs may be covered

before you reach that amount. To be sure, you should read your

enrollment information to see how preventive drugs are covered

specific to your plan.

Generic Available (GA): Indicates a generic equivalent is

available for a brand name drug. In most cases, when you purchase

a brand name drug that has an FDA-approved "A"-rated generic

equivalent, Wellmark will pay only what it would have paid for the

equivalent generic drug. You will be responsible for your payment

obligation for the equivalent generic drug and any remaining cost

difference up to the maximum allowed fee for the brand name drug

HEALTH CARE REFORM PREVENTIVE DRUGS

Preventive drugs with an "A" or "B" rating in the current

recommendations of the United States Preventive Services Task Force

(USPSTF) and immunizations as recommended by the Advisory

Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention are not associated with any cost share for members on

plans with this benefit.

Blue Rx Complete Formulary ©2016 Wellmark, Inc. 6

A complete list of recommendations and guidelines related to preventive

services can be found at Healthcare.gov. Recommended preventive items

and services are subject to change and are subject to medical

management.

BENEFIT COVERAGE AND LIMITATIONS

This printed formulary does not define benefit coverage and limitations.

Many members have specific benefit inclusions, exclusions, copayments

or a lack of coverage, which are not reflected in the Blue Rx Essentials

formulary. Members should contact their Plan Sponsor or Wellmark

Customer Service at the number on the back of their ID card if they have

questions regarding their coverage. Please note that the formulary

process is evolutionary and changes can occur throughout the year. The

following topics may or may not be applicable depending on the

parameters of your specific benefits.

FORMULARY EXCEPTION PROCESS

Drugs not included in this list shall be considered non-formulary and are

NOT COVERED. In some instances, Wellmark will consider coverage

exceptions. Coverage of non-formulary drugs may be requested by the

health professional through an exception request for a non-formulary

prescription drug (outlined below). Generally, the following guidelines

must be documented in order for an exception to be granted:

All covered formulary drugs on any tier will be ineffective; OR

All covered formulary drugs on any tier have been ineffective; OR

All covered formulary drugs on any tier would not be as effective as

the non-formulary drug; OR

All covered formulary drugs would have adverse effects

COMMON DRUG EXCLUSIONS

Due to benefit design parameters, some plan sponsors may choose to

exclude certain drug classes. Prior authorization is generally not available

for drugs that are specifically excluded by benefit design. Common

excluded drugs may include, but are not limited to:

Page 7: Wellmark Blue Rx Complete Formulary · Blue Rx Complete Formulary ©2016 Wellmark, Inc. 7 OTC drugs or their equivalents unless otherwise specified in the formulary listing. Drug

Blue Rx Complete Formulary ©2016 Wellmark, Inc. 7

OTC drugs or their equivalents unless otherwise specified in the

formulary listing.

Drug products used for cosmetic purposes

Experimental drug products, or any drug product used in an

experimental manner

Replacement of a lost or stolen drug

Foreign drugs or drugs not approved by the United States Food &

Drug Administration (FDA)

GENERIC DRUG SUBSTITUTION

In most cases, Wellmark promotes the use of equally effective generic

drugs whenever possible. If a member or physician requests a brand-

name product when the prescription is filled and a generic equivalent is

available, the member will typically be required to pay the difference in

cost between the brand and the generic drug.

When a brand-name drug becomes available as a generic, the brand-

name product may move to a higher tier. Members may be required to

pay more for a prescription when a higher-tier brand-name product is

dispensed.

Members will not be responsible for the cost difference between brands

and generics when choosing one of the products listed below:

Coumadin Lanoxin

Cytomel Stavzor

Depakene Synthroid

Depakote/Depakote ER Tegretol/Tegretol XR

Dilantin Theophylline products

Equetro Thyrolar
