What is the formulary list?
The formulary list is a list of medicines that are considered the preferred treatment for a patient’s condition and that can be used as a guide for a doctor when prescribing medicine. The formulary list was developed by an independent panel of doctors and pharmacists who worked with the Service Benefit Plan to ensure that the medicines listed were the most clinically appropriate and cost-effective medicines. While your prescription medicine program is not limited to the drugs on the formulary list, using formulary medicines may reduce your out-of-pocket expense.
