1 January 2015 CareFirst Preferred Drug List - Formulary 2 The CareFirst Preferred Drug List - Formulary 2 is a guide to help you identify products that are both clinically appropriate and costeffective. These drugs are selected for their quality, effectiveness and cost based on current medical research and input from a committee of doctors and pharmacies who serve the CareFirst region. The drugs on the Preferred Drug List are grouped into therapeutic categories for representational purposes only. This list represents brandname drugs in CAPS and generic products in lowercase italics. Generic drugs should be considered the first line of prescribing; however, if there is no generic available, there may be more than one brand-name drug to treat a condition. Please note this is not an all-inclusive list and is subject to change. PLAN MEMBER Ask your doctor to consider prescribing, when appropriate, a preferred drug from this list. Take this list along when you or a covered family member sees a doctor. Please note: Our Pharmacy Benefit Manager, CVS/caremark 1 may contact your doctor after receiving your prescription to request consideration of a generic equivalent or preferred brand drug, which may lower your out-of-pocket costs. In most cases, when a generic becomes available for a brandname drug, the brand-name drug is moved to the non-preferred brand category, which may have a higher cost-share. Check your specific prescription benefit plan design to determine your cost-share for a specific product on this list. Your specific prescription benefit plan design may not cover certain products or categories, regardless of their appearance in this document. You may be responsible for the full cost of products that are not listed on the Preferred Drug List. For specific information regarding your prescription benefit plan, please visit and log in to My Account or contact CareFirst Pharmacy Services at HEALTH CARE PROVIDER As a way to help manage health care costs, authorize generic substitution whenever possible. If you believe a brand-name product is necessary, consider prescribing a brand name on this list. Please note: Generics should be considered the first line of prescribing. This drug list represents a summary of prescription coverage. It is not all-inclusive and does not guarantee coverage. The member's prescription benefit plan may have a different copay/coinsurance for specific products on the list. Unless specifically indicated, drug list products will include all dosage forms. Visit the Drug Search tool on to check coverage for a specific drug and any restrictions.

9 You may be responsible for the full cost of certain non-formulary products that are removed from coverage. Please check with your plan sponsor for more information. FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Generics should be considered the first line of prescribing. This drug list represents a summary of prescription coverage. It is not all-inclusive and does not guarantee coverage. New to market products and new variations of products already in the marketplace will not be added to the formulary until the product has been evaluated, determined to be clinically appropriate and cost-effective, and approved by the CVS/caremark Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee (or other appropriate reviewing body). In most instances, a brandname drug for which a generic product becomes available will be designated as a non-preferred option upon release of the generic product to the market. Specific prescription benefit plan design may not cover certain products or categories, regardless of their appearance in this document. The member's prescription benefit plan may have a different copay/coinsurance for specific products on the list. Unless specifically indicated, drug list products will include all dosage forms. This list represents brand products in CAPS and generic products in lowercase italics. Generics listed in therapeutic categories are for representational purposes only. Listed products may be available generically in certain strengths or dosage forms. Dosage forms on this list will be consistent with the category and use where listed. To check coverage and copay/coinsurance information for a specific medicine, visit and log in to My Account.
