Does the list of maintenance medications ever change?
Yes. The list of maintenance drugs is monitored by Medco and changed periodically. For example, GI drugs (such as Nexium, Protonix, omeprazole) have been added to this list. Insulin is no longer on the list. Medco will now advise you when your medication either goes on or comes off of the maintenance drug list. Once a drug comes off the list, you may purchase it at your retail pharmacy. Prescriptions for maintenance medications must be mailed to Medco after the first fill and one refill.
