INTRODUCTION
FORMULARY OVERVIEW
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.
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.
Drug Name: This lists the generic name for the product (lowercase) OR
the brand name or common reference name for the product
(UPPERCASE).
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.
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.
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:
