MAGELLAN Rx PRECISION FORMULARY

Magellan Rx Precision Formulary

Welcome to Magellan Rx Management's Precision Formulary. A formulary is a list of covered prescription drugs. The Precision Formulary excludes certain drugs in order to reduce the cost of your prescriptions. For every excluded drug there is a preferred alternative available at a lower cost. Please use this formulary drug list when you receive a prescription from your doctor. This formulary list is not intended to imply coverage and may change over time. Please refer to your plan document for detailed information about your drug benefit coverage.

The formulary is organized by categories depending on the type of medical conditions that they are used to treat. Medications are listed as Tier 1 Generic, Tier 2 Preferred Brand, Tier 3 Non-Preferred Brand, and Excluded Products. Medications listed as "Specialty Drugs" are used to treat complex medical conditions that require special handling, administration, and member care management. Depending on your pharmacy benefit design, specialty drugs may be part of a specialty benefit with specific coverage and copay requirements that differ from drugs in Tiers 1 ? 3. If you do not have a defined specialty benefit, your copay may be based on whether the drug is Generic or Brand, therefore Tier 1 or Tier 3 copays may apply. Excluded products are not covered by your plan; however, a preferred alternative is available at a lower cost.

Our Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee (P&T) and Value Assessment Committee (VAC) dedicates many hours to the clinical analysis and evaluation of peer reviewed literature and medical care guidelines to determine a drug's safety and efficacy. After this rigorous clinical evaluation, the committee weighs the financial implications of a drug compared to other similar drugs and selects appropriate Tier placement based on the drugs' safety, efficacy and cost- effectiveness. Please note all drugs on the Formulary Drug List are subjected to periodic review and amendment without notice.

Drug exception requests must have clinical information submitted by a prescriber. For excluded drug products, members or prescribers may request a medical exception review if the prescriber feels that the formulary does not adequately cover your clinical needs. The request may be initiated by the member or the prescriber. If the request is initiated by the member using the online tool or via a telephone request to our offices, Magellan will contact your physician for the necessary clinical information to support this exception. If the request is initiated by your prescriber, he or she may submit it by fax, phone, or mail. They will be required to submit supporting clinical documentation to justify Magellan's approval.

NTI products may have to be monitored by your doctor or pharmacist more frequently because small changes in doses can have harmful impacts.
