What is the difference between preferred brand-name and non-preferred brand-name drugs?
A. A preferred brand-name drug is a commonly prescribed medication that has been selected based on its clinical effectiveness and safety. A non-preferred brand-name drug has therapeutic alternatives that are listed in the Preferred Prescription Formulary Guide. The Prescription Drug Program includes a three-level copayment structure for generic, preferred brand-name, and non-preferred brand-name drugs.
