1 Prescription benefit updates Individual/small group Moda Health s prescription program is a pharmacy benefit that offers members a choice of safe and effective medication treatments. The program also helps you save money on prescription drugs. Periodically, medication coverage changes will occur. These changes allow us to maintain a comprehensive benefit and provide you with an open formulary and choice, and support the program s ongoing stability. Our prescription program uses a tiered copay/coinsurance system. You and your doctor can choose between the value, select, preferred or brand tier medications. What you pay for a drug depends on your plan. Please review the following expected pharmacy coverage updates. Please note, this information could change and does not represent every potential update to your benefits. Refer to your member handbook for specific tier and coverage information. Questions? Call our Pharmacy Customer Service team toll-free at Value tier Select tier Preferred tier Non-Preferred tier Specialty tier Value medications include commonly prescribed medications used to treat chronic medical conditions and preserve health. Plans that do not include a value tier benefit will have medications categorized under this tier paid at the select or preferred tier copay/coinsurance levels. Generic medications are considered by physicians and pharmacists to be therapeutically the same as brand name alternatives and at the most favorable cost. Generic medications must contain the same active ingredient as their brand name counterparts and be identical in strength, dosage and format. This benefit level may also include select brand medications that have been identified as favorable from a clinical and cost effective perspective. The preferred tier includes brand and specialty brand name medications that have been reviewed by Moda Health and found to be clinically effective at a favorable cost when compared with other medications in the same category. This tier may also include generic medications that have been found to have the same clinical outcomes as their more cost-effective generic counterparts in the same category. This tier includes brand name medications that have been reviewed by Moda Health and found not to have a significant therapeutic advantage over their preferred tier counterparts. Certain prescription medications are defined as specialty products. Specialty medications are often used to treat complex chronic health conditions. Specialty treatments often require special handling techniques, careful administration and a unique ordering process. You must access specialty medications through the exclusive specialty pharmacy.
