Transcription

1 To help make the use of prescription drugs safer and more affordable, our plan is now using a Drug Quantity Management program. That is, for certain medications, you can receive an amount to last you a certain number of days. This gives you the right amount to take the daily dose considered safe and effective, according to the recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Based on the FDA s guidelines and other medical information, our plan developed this program together with Express Scripts, the company chosen to manage our prescription drug benefit. The following limits are based on a 30-day supply.if your plan allows for additional days supply, your limits may be higher. For instance, you may be able to get a 90-day supply of your medication through mail order service. Your doctor could also request a prior authorization. If this request is approved, a prior authorization would let you receive more than the recommended quantity.
