How often will prescription medications change tiers?
Medications may change tiers up to six times per calendar year, depending on your benefit. Most changes will occur on January 1 and July 1. Additionally, when a brand-name medication becomes available as a generic, the tier status of the brand-name medication and its corresponding generic will be evaluated. When a medication changes tiers, you may be required to pay more or less for that medication. These changes may occur without prior notice to you.
