What is the Rocky Mountain Health Plans Formulary?

A formulary is a list of covered drugs selected by RMHP in consultation with a team of health care providers, which represents the prescription therapies believed to be a necessary part of a quality treatment program.

RMHP will generally cover the drugs listed in our formulary as long as the drug is medically necessary, the prescription is filled at an RMHP network pharmacy, and other plan rules are followed. For more information on how to fill your prescriptions, please review your Evidence of Coverage.

Can the Formulary (drug list) change?

Generally, if you are taking a drug on our 2015 formulary that was covered at the beginning of the year, we will not discontinue or reduce coverage of the drug during the 2015 coverage year except when a new, less expensive generic drug becomes available or when new adverse information about the safety or effectiveness of a drug is released. Other types of formulary changes, such as removing a drug from our formulary, will not affect members who are currently taking the drug. It will remain available at the same cost-sharing for those members taking it for the remainder of the coverage year. We feel it is important that you have continued access for the remainder of the coverage year to the formulary drugs that were available when you chose our plan, except for cases in which you can save additional money or we can ensure your safety.

If we remove drugs from our formulary, add prior authorization, quantity limits and/or step therapy restrictions on a drug, or move a drug to a higher cost-sharing tier, we must notify affected members of the change at least 60 days before the change becomes effective, or at the time the member requests a refill of the drug, at which time the member will receive a 60-day supply of the drug. If the Food and Drug Administration deems a drug on our formulary to be unsafe or the drug’s manufacturer removes the drug from the market, we will

immediately remove the drug from our formulary and provide notice to members who take the drug.

The enclosed formulary is current as of November 1, 2015. To get updated information about the drugs covered by RMHP, please contact us. Our contact information appears on the front and back cover pages. The only changes made to the formulary mid-year are maintenance drug changes. This means we may add new drugs to the formulary and we may move a brand name drug to a higher tier if a bioequivalent generic becomes available and is included in the formulary. RMHP does not make non-maintenance formulary changes mid-year.

How do I use the Formulary?

There are two ways to find your drug within the formulary:

Medical Condition

The formulary begins on page 7. The drugs in this formulary are grouped into categories depending on the type of medical conditions that they are used to treat. For example, drugs used to treat a heart condition are listed under the category, “Cardiovascular Agents”. If you know what your drug is used for, look for the category name in the list that begins on page number 7. Then look under the category name for your drug.

Alphabetical Listing

If you are not sure what category to look under, you should look for your drug in the Index that begins on page

(3)

What are generic drugs?

RMHP covers both brand name drugs and generic drugs. A generic drug is approved by the FDA as having the same active ingredient as the brand name drug. Generally, generic drugs cost less than brand name drugs.

Are there any restrictions on my coverage?

Some covered drugs may have additional requirements or limits on coverage. These requirements and limits may include:

 Prior Authorization: RMHP requires you or your physician to get prior authorization for certain drugs. This means that you will need to get approval from us before you fill your prescriptions. If you don’t get approval, we may not cover the drug.

 Quantity Limits: For certain drugs, RMHP limits the amount of the drug that we will cover. For example, RMHP provides 12 tablets per month for Imitrex tablets. This may be in addition to a standard one month or three month supply.

 Step Therapy: In some cases, RMHP requires you to first try certain drugs to treat your medical condition before we will cover another drug for that condition. For example, if Drug A and Drug B both treat your medical condition, we may not cover Drug B unless you try Drug A first. If Drug A does not work for you, we will then cover Drug B.

You can find out if your drug has any additional requirements or limits by looking in the formulary that begins on page 7. You can also get more information about the restrictions applied to specific covered drugs by visiting our Web site. We have posted on line documents that explain our prior authorization and step therapy restrictions. You may also ask us to send you a copy. Our contact information, along with the date we last updated the formulary, appears on the front and back cover pages.

You can ask RMHP to make an exception to these restrictions or limits or for a list of other, similar drugs that may treat your health condition. See the section, “How do I request an exception to the RMHP formulary?” below for information about how to request an exception.

What if my drug is not on the Formulary?

If your drug is not included in this formulary (list of covered drugs), you should first contact Customer Service and ask if your drug is covered.

If you learn that RMHP does not cover your drug, you have two options:

 You can ask Customer Service for a list of similar drugs that are covered by RMHP. When

(4)

How do I request an exception to the RMHP Formulary?

You can ask RMHP to make an exception to our coverage rules. There are several types of exceptions that you can ask us to make.

 You can ask us to cover your drug even if it is not on our formulary. If approved, this drug will be covered at a pre-determined cost-sharing level, and you would not be able to ask us to provide the drug at a lower cost-sharing level.

 You can ask us to cover a formulary drug at a lower cost-sharing level, if this drug is not on the specialty tier. If approved, this would lower the amount you must pay for your drug.

 You can ask us to waive coverage restrictions or limits on your drug. For example, for certain drugs, RMHP limits the amount of the drug that we will cover. If your drug has a quantity limit, you can ask us to waive the limit and cover a greater amount.

Generally, RMHP will only approve your request for an exception if the alternative drugs included on the plan’s formulary, the lower cost-sharing drug or additional utilization restrictions would not be as effective in treating your condition and/or would cause you to have adverse medical effects.

You should contact us to ask us for an initial coverage decision for a formulary, tiering or utilization restriction exception. When you are requesting a formulary, tiering or utilization restriction exception you should submit a statement from your prescriber or physician supporting your request. Generally, we must make our decision within 72 hours of getting your prescriber’s supporting statement. You can request an expedited (fast) exception if you or your doctor believe that your health could be seriously harmed by waiting up to 72 hours for a decision. If your request to expedite is granted, we must give you a decision no later than 24 hours after we get a supporting statement from your doctor or other prescriber.

What do I do before I can talk to my doctor about changing my drugs or requesting an exception?

As a new or continuing member in our plan you may be taking drugs that are not on our formulary. Or, you may be taking a drug that is on our formulary but your ability to get it is limited. For example, you may need a prior authorization from us before you can fill your prescription. You should talk to your doctor to decide if you should switch to an appropriate drug that we cover or request a formulary exception so that we will cover the drug you take. While you talk to your doctor to determine the right course of action for you, we may cover your drug in certain cases during the first 90 days you are a member of our plan.

For each of your drugs that is not on our formulary or if your ability to get your drugs is limited, we will cover a temporary 30-day supply (unless you have a prescription written for fewer days) when you go to a network pharmacy. After your first 30-day supply, we will not pay for these drugs, even if you have been a member of the plan less than 90 days.

(5)

get your drugs is limited; but you are past the first 90 days of membership in our plan, we will cover a 31- day emergency supply of that drug (unless you have a prescription for fewer days) while you pursue a formulary exception.

When you have a level of care change (e.g. you are admitted to a Long Term Care facility), you may need additional supplies of your medications. When this occurs, the pharmacy can call the RMHP Pharmacy Help Desk to receive a transition supply of each affected drug. RMHP will not limit appropriate and necessary access to Part D benefits when you are being admitted to, or discharged from a Long Term Care facility.
