B. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Find answers here to questions you have about this List of Covered Drugs. You can read all of the FAQ to learn more, or look for a question and answer.

B1. What prescription drugs are on the List of Covered Drugs? (We call the List of Covered Drugs the "Drug List" for short.)

The drugs on the List of Covered Drugs that starts on page 1 are the drugs covered by Buckeye Health Plan - MyCare Ohio. These drugs are available at pharmacies within our network. A pharmacy is in our network if we have an agreement with them to work with us and provide you services. We refer to these pharmacies as "network pharmacies."

? Buckeye Health Plan - MyCare Ohio will cover all medically necessary drugs on the Drug List if:

o your doctor or other prescriber says you need them to get better or stay healthy, and

o you fill the prescription at a Buckeye Health Plan - MyCare Ohio network pharmacy.

? Buckeye Health Plan - MyCare Ohio may have additional steps to access certain drugs (see question B4 below).

You can also see an up-to-date list of drugs that we cover on our website at mmp. or call Member Services at 1-866-549-8289 (TTY: 711).

B2. Does the Drug List ever change? Yes. Buckeye Health Plan - MyCare Ohio may add or remove drugs on the Drug List during the year.

We may also change our rules about drugs. For example, we could:

? Decide to require or not require prior approval for a drug. (Prior approval is permission from Buckeye Health Plan - MyCare Ohio before you can get a drug.)

? Add or change the amount of a drug you can get (called quantity limits).

? Add or change step therapy restrictions on a drug. (Step therapy means you must try one drug before we will cover another drug.)

For more information on these drug rules, see question B4.

If you are taking a drug that was covered at the beginning of the year, we will generally not remove or change coverage of that drug during the rest of the year unless:

? a new, cheaper drug comes along that works as well as a drug on the Drug List now, or

? we learn that a drug is not safe, or

? a drug is removed from the market.

Questions B3 and B6 below have more information on what happens when the Drug List changes.

? You can always check Buckeye Health Plan - MyCare Ohio's up to date Drug List online at mmp..

? You can also call Member Services to check the current Drug List at 1-866-5498289 (TTY: 711).

B3. What happens when there is a change to the Drug List? Some changes to the Drug List will happen immediately. For example:

? A new generic drug becomes available. Sometimes, a new and cheaper drug comes along that works as well as a drug on the Drug List now. When that happens, we may remove the current drug, but your cost for the new drug will stay the same. When we add the new generic drug, we may also decide to keep the current drug on the list but change its coverage rules or limits.

o We may not tell you before we make this change, but we will send you information about the specific change or changes we made.

o You or your provider can ask for an exception from these changes. We will send you a notice with the steps you can take to ask for an exception. Please see question B10 for more information on exceptions.

? A drug is taken off the market. If the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says a drug you are taking is not safe or the drug's manufacturer takes a drug off the market, we will take it off the Drug List. If you are taking the drug, we will let you know. If you have any questions after being notified of the change, you should contact the doctor who prescribed the drug for you.

We may make other changes that affect the drugs you take. We will tell you in advance about these other changes to the Drug List. These changes might happen if:
