Details
The Value Formulary is designed to include all therapeutic categories and
provide physicians with prescribing options. It includes generic drugs and a
defined list of brand-name drugs that have been chosen for formulary coverage
based on their reported medical effectiveness, positive results, and value.
In addition, the formulary is reviewed periodically to add new drugs and to
remove brand drugs when a generic equivalent becomes available. When a generic
equivalent becomes available, the brand drug may be subject to a change in
cost-share. Providers were sent notification in the mail of these changes.
