4 FEP BLUE FOCUS We re excited to offer federal employees, retirees and their families a new coverage option called FEP Blue Focus! We ve designed this product to give you quality coverage at an affordable cost. FEP Blue Focus covers certain Preferred drugs mainly generics, and some Preferred brand name and Preferred specialty drugs. This is what s known as a closed formulary. Under this plan, there are two covered drug tiers. The amount you pay for your drug depends on the tier it s in. What You ll Pay for a 30-Day Supply Tier 1 - Preferred generics Tier 2 - Preferred brand name drugs and Preferred specialty drugs Up to $5 copayment 40% of our allowance up to $350 If you re currently taking a prescription, you should check whether your drug is covered under this plan since the plan only covers Preferred drugs. You can see some of the drugs covered on pages You can also view the full FEP Blue Focus formulary at fepblue.org/ formulary. If your drug is not on the approved drug list, you ll pay the full cost of the drug. Once you know that we cover your drug, getting your prescription filled is easy. For most drugs, all you ll need to do is go to a Preferred retail pharmacy and show your member ID card. If your drug is a Preferred generic specialty drug or Preferred brand name specialty drug, you ll need to use the Specialty Pharmacy Program. To learn more about the 2019 benefits prior to January 1, 2019, please visit whatsnew or call our Pharmacy Benefit Managers listed on page 56. 2

6 UNDERSTANDING THE FORMULARY We continually review drugs in support of safe and appropriate therapies. This helps ensure that drugs in your benefit plan work well and are cost-effective. FORMULARY The formulary is a complete list of your covered prescription drugs. It includes generic, brand name, and specialty drugs, as well as Preferred drugs that will lower your out-of-pocket costs. The Standard Option and Basic Option formularies have 5 tiers of drugs. The FEP Blue Focus formulary has 2 tiers of drugs. See p. 6 NON-COVERED DRUGS There are certain drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that we don t cover. We call these drugs excluded, Managed Not Covered or not formulary. These drugs all have Preferred alternatives that you can use. Standard Option has a comprehensive formulary. This means we cover almost all FDA approved drugs. There is a small list of excluded drugs that are not covered. See pp Basic Option has a managed formulary. This means that we cover most FDA approved drugs. There is a list of Managed Not Covered drugs that provides the Preferred alternatives that you may use. See pp FEP Blue Focus has a limited (or closed) formulary. This means that we only cover some FDA approved drugs. Any drug not on the FEP Blue Focus formulary is not covered. If you buy a drug that is not covered, you will pay full price. QUANTITY LIMITS (QL) Certain drugs on the formulary have quantity limits (for example, number of pills). This means your pharmacy benefit will only cover up to a specific amount per prescription or a limited amount per year. Quantity limits help ensure drugs are used safely and appropriately. Drug quantities are approved based on accepted standards of healthcare practice in the United States. 4

7 PRIOR APPROVAL (PA) Some prescription drugs and supplies need approval in advance, or prior approval before we provide coverage for them. We need to confirm: n Your use of the drug is related to a service or condition covered under the Service Benefit Plan. n Your doctor prescribes it in a way that matches generally accepted medical practices. FACTS TO KNOW AUT PRIOR APPROVAL n You will need to renew your prior approval periodically. n Drugs and supplies on the Prior Approval list may change throughout the year. n Mail Service and Specialty Programs will not fill prescriptions that need prior approval until you receive prior approval. n Preferred retail pharmacies will fill your prescriptions, but you will pay the full cost of the drug until you get prior approval. If prior approval is received, you may file a claim for reimbursement of outof-pocket costs paid while awaiting approval. HELP WITH PRIOR APPROVAL Visit fepblue.org/pharmacy. Or call toll-free any time at You will be able to: n See a list of drugs that need prior approval n Get a prior approval request form Your doctor can submit requests for prior approval by: n Submitting an epa (electronic prior approval) n Calling toll-free n Filling out the Prior Approval Form found at fepblue.org/priorapproval 5

8 UNDERSTANDING THE FORMULARY HOW S RELATE TO COSTS The costs of drugs vary. How much you pay is your cost share. Look for your drug in the formulary for your plan option. The tier level where your drug type is listed determines your cost. Standard and Basic Options Tier 1 Tier 2 DRUG TYPE Generic Drugs: typically the most affordable, and are equal to their brand name counterparts in quality, performance characteristics and intended use. Preferred Brand Name Drugs: proven to be safe, effective, and favorably priced compared to Non-preferred brands. Tier 3 Non-preferred Brand Name Drugs: typically higher cost share since there is a generic or Preferred brand. Tier 4 Preferred Specialty Drugs: proven to be safe, effective, and favorably priced compared to Non-preferred specialty drugs. Tier 5 Non-preferred Specialty Drugs: typically higher cost share since there is a Preferred specialty drug. FEP Blue Focus DRUG TYPE Tier 1 Preferred Generic Drugs: typically the most affordable, and are equal to their brand name counterparts in quality, performance characteristics and intended use. Tier 2 Preferred Brand Name Drugs and Preferred Specialty Drugs: proven to be safe, effective, and favorably priced compared to non-covered drug options. 6

9 HOW PRESCRIPTION DRUGS ARE ASSIGNED TO S The Pharmacy and Medical Policy Committee (PMPC) is an independent group of doctors and pharmacists. This group recommends drugs for each tier based on their: n Effectiveness n Safety n How they compare to other drugs in the same class The PMPC meets every quarter to review new drugs and other changes to the formulary. Based on that review, drugs may change tiers, be added or removed from the formulary. Check your formulary often to be aware of any changes.
