Frequently Asked Questions

What is a drug list?

The drug list, also called a formulary, is a list of prescription medicines your plan covers. It includes hundreds of brand-name and generic drugs approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

How can I find a drug on the list?

The drugs are listed in alphabetical order based on the name of their drug class, also called therapeutic class. You can search the PDF drug list by typing in the name of the drug you’re looking for.

The Notes column will tell you if you need preapproval before you can take the drug (called prior authorization or PA), or if you need to try other drugs first for your treatment (called step therapy or ST).

What are my pharmacy options?

Your plan’s network includes over 67,000 pharmacies nationwide, with two levels of coverage:

Home Delivery

If there are medications you take regularly, you can save time and money with our home delivery service. CarelonRx Pharmacy will deliver up to 90-day supplies with free standard shipping.

Specialty Pharmacy

If you have a health condition that requires specialty medicine, such as those you take by injection or infusion, or that need special handling, you will need to order through CarelonRx Specialty Pharmacy. You may also choose other in-network specialty pharmacies.

To view a list of covered specialty drugs that require a network specialty pharmacy, please visit our Drug List, and select the Exclusive Specialty Drug List.

As a Provider, is this a complete listing of all covered drugs?

Yes, this is a complete listing of all the drugs on the drug list. But it’s possible a drug(s) on this list may not be covered, depending on your plan’s design. Your coverage has limitations and exclusions, which means there are certain conditions that determine what’s covered by your plan and what isn’t.

To find out more, read your Certificate/Evidence of Coverage or your Summary Plan Description, which you got when you signed up for your plan.
