What is the Kaiser Permanente MultiChoice Formulary? A formulary is a list of drugs determined to be safe and effective for our members by our Pharmacy and Therapeutics committee. Use of the formulary enables Kaiser Permanente to provide optimal care to you and your family at reasonable costs. Kaiser Permanente continually updates the formulary throughout the year based on new medical evidence, considering the recommendations of appropriate physician experts. Our physicians and pharmacists work closely together to ensure that our formulary meets your needs. This formulary is only for use at PPO Provider (Tier 2) and Non-Participating Provider (Tier 3) pharmacies. To see which medications are covered at a Select Provider (Tier 1) pharmacy, please reference the Kaiser Permanente HMO Formulary. Does the formulary ever change? Yes, Kaiser Permanente periodically updates the formulary based on new medical evidence, considering the recommendations of appropriate physician experts and notifies our doctors, pharmacists, and other clinicians about any changes. If a change in the formulary affects any of your prescriptions, your doctor or pharmacist will let you know. The enclosed formulary is current as of October 23, 2014 and represents the most commonly prescribed medications. To get updated information about the drugs covered by Kaiser Permanente, please visit our website at members.kp.org or call Member Services at 1-888-865-5813, Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. TTY/TDD users should call 1-800-255-0056. How do I use the Formulary? There are two easy ways to find your drug within the formulary: Medical Condition The drug list begins on page 4. The drugs on this formulary are grouped into categories depending on the type of medical condition that they are used to treat. For example, drugs used to treat a heart condition are listed under the category, Cardiovascular Drugs. If you know what your drug is used for, simply look for the category name in the list that begins on page 4. Then look under the category name for your drug. Alphabetical Listing If you are not sure what category to look under, you can look for the drug in the Index that begins on page 40. The Index provides an alphabetical list of all of the drugs included in this document. Both brand-name drugs and generic drugs are listed in the Index. Look in the Index and find your drug. Next to the drug, you will see the page number where you can find coverage information. Turn to the page listed in the Index and find the name of your drug on the list. You may also use the search function on your computer to search this document for the medication by name. **All drug product strengths and package sizes of a medication may not be included on the same tier on the formulary, check with your Kaiser Permanente pharmacist for Kaiser Permanente of Georgia Multi Choice Formulary 1
What are generic drugs? Kaiser Permanente covers both brandname drugs and generic drugs. Brand name drugs are drugs that are produced and sold under the original manufacturer s name. drugs are produced and sold under their chemical names after the patent of the brand name drug expires. Although the price is lower, the quality and effectiveness of generic drugs is the same as brand name drugs. The Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that generic drugs contain the same active ingredients in the same amount as the brand name drug. drugs are listed in lower-case italics (e.g., amoxicillin) within the formulary on page 4. If a drug is available as a generic, it is only listed with the generic name. Brand-name drugs are capitalized in the formulary (e.g., FLOVENT). Generally, if a drug is available generically, the generic is on Tier 1 and the brand Tier 3. Because all drug product strengths and package sizes of a formulary drug may not be included on the formulary, check with your Kaiser Permanente pharmacist for clarification, if needed. How much will I pay for Covered Drugs? What you pay for covered drugs is determined by the outpatient prescription drug benefit outlined in your Evidence of Coverage. Multichoice plans have a three tier open formulary benefit. Open formulary benefits have a generic cost sharing requirement. This means that if you fill a brand name drug when a generic is available, that in addition to your standard copayment or coinsurance, you will also pay the difference in cost between the brand name and generic drug. s are those covered at the lowest co-payment amount defined as Tier 1. Preferred brands are those brands which will be covered at your preferred brand copayment amount defined as Tier 2. Nonpreferred brands are covered at the nonpreferred co-payment defined as Tier 3 coverage amount. Coverage for prescription drugs is limited to drugs for which a prescription is required by law and those that are listed on the Kaiser Permanente MultiChoice drug formulary. Certain diabetic supplies do not require a prescription, but must still be listed in our formulary in order to be covered under the benefit. Each prescription refill is provided on the same basis as the original prescription. Copayments are applied on a per prescription basis, for up to the lesser of the dispensing amount listed in the Schedule of Benefits or the standard prescription amount. The standard prescription amount for the following items is: Migraine medications the smallest package size commercially available Ophthalmic and otic medications the smallest package size commercially available Oral and nasal inhalers the smallest standard package unit **All drug product strengths and package sizes of a medication may not be included on the same tier on the formulary, check with your Kaiser Permanente pharmacist for Kaiser Permanente of Georgia Multi Choice Formulary 2
Are there any other restrictions on coverage? Some covered drugs may have additional requirements or limits on coverage. These requirements and limits may include: Quantity Limits (QL): For certain drugs, Kaiser Permanente limits the amount of the drug that will be covered. Age Restriction (Age): For certain drugs, Kaiser Permanente limits coverage based on a designated age. Criteria Restricted Medication (QRM): For certain drugs, Kaiser Permanente requires review and authorization prior to dispensing. Your Provider must obtain this review and authorization. The list of prescription drugs requiring review and authorization is subject to periodic review and modification by our Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee. What if my drug is not on the Formulary?
