Blue Rx Complete Formulary
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:
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-
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
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:
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
