Examples include, but are not limited to: Botox Cosmetic, hydroquinone-containing products, Latisse, Propecia, Renova and Vaniqa. KEY Generic drugs are listed in lowercase italics. Brand-name drugs are listed in CAPS. Symbol Meaning § Generics are available in this class and should be considered the first line of prescribing. B4G Brand for Generic medication (see note below). Brand-name product is dispensed at the generic copayment. † You will be responsible for the full cost of non-formulary products that are excluded from coverage unless a request for a medical exception is approved. Information on the medical exception process can be found below in the For Your Information section. ‡ The preferred alternative products in this list are a broad representation within therapeutic categories of available treatment options and do not necessarily represent clinical equivalency. ◊ For use in patients previously treated with an HCV regimen containing an NS5A inhibitor (for genotypes 1-6) or sofosbuvir without an NS5A inhibitor (for genotypes 1a or 3). * This drug may be available as a generic in 2020 or 2021. When a generic is available, mandatory generic substitution will apply, unless the brand-name drug has been placed on Level 1. PA A Prior authorization is required for coverage. PA/QL A Prior Authorization is required for coverage and a quantity limit applies to the drug. QL A Quantity limit applies to the drug. QL/PA Initial Quantity limit is applied to the drug. Additional quantities may be authorized through a Prior authorization. SGM Specialty Guideline Management applies to the drug (Empire Plan Specialty Pharmacy Program medication). FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Generics should be considered the first line of prescribing. This drug list represents a summary of prescription coverage. It is not all-inclusive and does not guarantee coverage. Any brand-name drug for which a generic drug becomes available may be designated as a non-preferred drug. Specific prescription benefit plan design may not cover certain products or categories, regardless of their appearance in this document. The member's prescription benefit plan may have a different copay for specific drugs on the list. Unless specifically indicated, drug list products will include all dosage forms. This list represents brand-name drugs in CAPS and generic drugs in lowercase italics. Listed drugs may be available generically in certain strengths or dosage forms. Dosage forms on this list will be consistent with the category and use where listed. Log in to https://www.empireplanrxprogram.com to check coverage and copay information for a specific medicine. The Flexible Formulary has an additional feature called Brand for Generic (B4G) which saves you money on certain Brand-Name drugs that have a new generic available. When advantageous to the Plan, this feature allows a Brand-Name drug to be placed on Level 1, the lowest copayment level, and the new generic equivalent to be placed on Level 3, the highest copayment level or excluded. These placements are for a limited time, typically six months, and may be revised mid-year when such changes are advantageous to The Empire Plan. You will be notified when B4G savings are available. We will also notify your pharmacist so that the lowest cost option will always be dispensed. Please refer to the Empire Plan Prescription Drug Program website at https://www.empireplanrxprogram.com for the most current information regarding the B4G feature. The Empire Plan has implemented a medical exception process for prescription drugs that are excluded from the Flexible Formulary. Enrollees and their physicians must first evaluate whether covered drugs on the Flexible Formulary are appropriate alternatives. After an appropriate trial of formulary alternatives, an enrollee's physician may submit a letter of medical necessity to CVS Caremark which details the enrollee's formulary alternative trials and any other clinical documentation supporting medical necessity. The physician can fax the exception request to 1-888-487-9257. If an exception is approved, the Level 1 copay will apply for generic drugs and the Level 3 copay (and ancillary charge, if applicable) will apply for brand-name drugs.
