1 Value Formulary Key Exclusions and Their Alternatives Catamaran offers diverse formulary alternatives that help our clients select what works best for them. The Value Formulary is a partially-closed formulary that excludes coverage of brand-name drugs that offer no clear clinical advantage over less-costly brand or generic alternatives. This list consists of some of the key Value exclusions along with their clinical alternatives and is not intended to be a comprehensive exclusion list. Please reference the full formulary to determine if your product is excluded.
