Value Formulary: What s not covered and their alternatives Non-formulary drug list as of July 1, 2018 The Value Formulary is a list of drugs that have been selected based on their clinical effectiveness, safety and value. It is a restricted formulary that does not cover certain drugs that offer no clear clinical advantage over less costly brand or generic alternatives that are covered. In the following chart, the column titled Non- Formulary Drug lists drugs that are not covered, and the column titled Formulary Alternative lists covered drug alternatives 1 that are available through the Value Formulary. To look up any drug on the Value Formulary, visit ibx.com/ffm/formulary5v. Please note that because prescription drug benefits vary by group, the inclusion of a drug as a Formulary Alternative does not imply coverage. Additionally, please call Customer Services at the number listed on the back of your ID card if you have any questions about your prescription drug benefits. This document is current as of the date prepared and is subject to change. Drugs listed are commonly prescribed; additional drugs may not be covered. New drugs are not immediately covered on the Value Formulary until they have been reviewed at which time they may or may not be covered. Please use the on line drug look-up to determine the current status of any drug. 1. Some of the formulary alternatives may be subject to quantity limits, age limits, or have prior authorization requirements.
