January 2013 1 INDEPENDENT HEALTH THREE-TIER FORMULARY Dear Prescriber: This Drug Formulary represents the list of drugs and their appropriate copayment tiers for most members enrolled in an Independent Health Pharmacy rider to their medical contract. Independent Health also provides Pharmacy coverage that may be subject to other formularies, including Medicare Part D and Self Insured employer-sponsored benefits. It is important for the presciber to understand your patient’s coverage when using this formulary. This formulary lists all covered Tier 1 and Tier 2 drugs but only lists representative products in Tier 3. Additional copies of this or other formularies that may apply to your patient may be obtained by calling Independent Health at (716) 631-2934 or (800) 247-1466, ext. 5311. For questions, or to obtain Prior Authorization/Non-Formulary Request Forms, an Independent Health representative may be contacted at (716) 631-2934 or (800) 247-1466 ext. 5311. Thank you for your cooperation. Prior Authorization Forms are also available to be printed from our website: www.independenthealth.com. Introduction to The Drug Formulary Generic drugs appear in lower case, brand name drugs start with a capital letter. Formulary/preferred generic drugs and select Over the Counter (OTC) and select Brand Name drugs listed on the Formulary are assigned to copay Tier 1. The formulary follows a “Mandatory Generic” policy which means that in most instances, once a generic product is available for which there are no bioequivalence concerns, the branded product is assigned to Copay Tier 3, and the generic product is assigned to Copay Tier 1. Certain non-preferred generic drugs may also be covered in the 3 rd tier when efficacy, safety or cost factors suggest that better alternatives exist on the formulary. Generic substitution is used only as required by state pharmacy laws. Independent Health reserves the right to modify the copay tier of a particular drug as necessary. For example, the copay tier of a brand drug will be raised from Tier 2 to Tier 3 when a generic drug becomes available (the generic drug will be placed in copay Tier 1). The copay of a brand drug may be lowered from Tier 3 to Tier 2 if the generic equivalents are discontinued or no longer available. Compounded prescriptions (medications that are not commercially manufactured) must be prepared by a participating pharmacy and contain at least one prescription component. The dispensing pharmacy is required to submit for prior approval and when covered, will take a Tier 2 copayment. Coverage is provided in accordance with our Compounding Drug Products Policy. Bulk products and powders are excluded from coverage because they are not prescription drug products that are approved under sections 505, 505(j) or 507 of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act. Most self-administered injectable drugs require prior authorization. Some exceptions are: insulin, glucagon, epinephrine emergency kits, etc. Drugs not intended for self administration are not covered under the pharmacy benefit and should be obtained and administered by an appropriate healthcare professional. Certain drugs which are either self-injectable, require special distribution, handling and/or are at limited supply are restricted to designated pharmacies that specialize in biotech injectables. These drugs are listed in the formulary under their therapeutic category as well as in the Specialty Drug section of the formulary (Chapter 23). Over the Counter (OTC) drugs listed on the formulary must have a prescription (written or verbal) from a participating prescriber. Not all tier 3 non-preferred drugs are listed in the formulary. For members with a 3 tier plan, most drugs not listed may be obtained, but the member will be responsible for their third tier copayment. Therapeutic interchange is not utilized. Not all the drugs listed are covered by all pharmacy benefit programs, including Medicare Part D, Healthy New York, and certain self-funded employer groups. The Medicare Part D formularies can be found on our website at www.independenthealth.com. NOTE REGARDING HEALTHY NEW YORK MEMBERS: Covered services for the Healthy New York (HNY) Program are set by law. Independent Health will not provide coverage for any service or care that is not specifically described as a covered service even when a participating provider considers the service or care to be medically necessary and appropriate. In addition, medications used to treat excluded services are not covered. Examples of services not covered include mental health (ex: ADHD, depression, anxiety), alcohol and substance abuse (ex: suboxone, smoking cessation), devices and supplies of any kind (ex: aerochambers, peak flow meters), prescriptions written by a dentist, weight loss medications, infertility medications, and medications used in connection with transgender procedures. The above listed exclusions are examples only. HNY members should refer to their contract for additional information. Certain self-funded employer groups may not follow this base formulary. Members in these pharmacy benefit management groups should refer to their summary plan description and/or their benefit administrator.

INDEPENDENT HEALTH THREE-TIER FORMULARY Dear Prescriber: This Drug Formulary represents the list of drugs and their appropriate copayment tiers for most members enrolled in an Independent Health Pharmacy rider to their medical contract. Independent Health also provides Pharmacy coverage that may be subject to other formularies, including Medicare Part D and Self Insured employer-sponsored benefits. It is important for the presciber to understand your patient’s coverage when using this formulary. This formulary lists all covered Tier 1 and Tier 2 drugs but only lists representative products in Tier 3. Additional copies of this or other formularies that may apply to your patient may be obtained by calling Independent Health at (716) 631-2934 or (800) 247-1466, ext. 5311. For questions, or to obtain Prior Authorization/Non-Formulary Request Forms, an Independent Health representative may be contacted at (716) 631-2934 or (800) 247-1466 ext. 5311. Thank you for your cooperation. Prior Authorization Forms are also available to be printed from our website: www.independenthealth.com. Introduction to The Drug Formulary Generic drugs appear in lower case, brand name drugs start with a capital letter. Formulary/preferred generic drugs and select Over the Counter (OTC) and select Brand Name drugs listed on the Formulary

are assigned to copay Tier 1. The formulary follows a “Mandatory Generic” policy which means that in most instances, once a generic product is available for which there are no bioequivalence concerns, the branded product is assigned to Copay Tier 3, and the generic product is assigned to Copay Tier 1. Certain non-preferred generic drugs may also be covered in the 3rd tier when efficacy, safety or cost factors suggest that better alternatives exist on the formulary. Generic substitution is used only as required by state pharmacy laws.

For example, the copay tier of a brand drug will be raised from Tier 2 to Tier 3 when a generic drug becomes available (the generic drug will be placed in copay Tier 1).

set by law.
