1 Leander Independent School District RxResults Initiative List Effective: 1/1/2018 For questions, please call RxResults at am-7pm central time Definitions: Reference Pricing This initiative is used when there are one or more lower cost drugs (preferred) in a drug category that are as effective as other high cost drugs (nonpreferred). By switching to the preferred alternative, the member may save money and their out-of-pocket cost may decrease. If the member chooses to fill the nonpreferred drug, their out-of-pocket cost will increase considerably. The plan will only pay the amount it would pay for the lower cost drug(s). The member will pay the difference in cost between the non-preferred drug and the preferred alternative(s). NOTE: the cost difference paid by the member may not apply towards their deductible or maximum out-of-pocket. Exclusion This initiative is used when there are other lower cost drugs that are considered equally effective.
