Lista de Medicamentos (Formulario)
Our list of drugs (formulary) shows the drugs that we cover. In general, we cover your drugs if they are medically necessary. Drugs on our list of drugs are covered when you use our network pharmacies or mail order service for maintenance drugs. Maintenance drugs are drugs you take for a chronic or long-term condition. We don't include all drugs. Some drugs we cover have limits or other rules. Some drugs may not be covered or are excluded. Other drugs are not on the list because of clinical and cost reasons.
El Comité de Farmacia y Terapéutica, nuestro equipo de expertos independientes en atención médica, revisa y aprueba nuestra lista de medicamentos. No incluimos todos los medicamentos. Es posible que algunos medicamentos no estén cubiertos o que estén excluidos. Otros medicamentos no están en la lista debido a razones clínicas y de costos.
¿Cómo Busco un Medicamento en la Lista de Medicamentos (Formulario)?
Puede buscar un medicamento utilizando nuestra Herramienta de Búsqueda de Medicamentos o abriendo el documento Lista de medicamentos (Formulario). Cada opción le ofrece una lista completa de medicamentos cubiertos y cualquier restricción o límite. La herramienta de búsqueda también muestra las alternativas para los medicamentos cubiertos.
The PDF document lists drugs by medical condition and alphabetically within the index. To search for your drug in the PDF, hold down the “Control” (Ctrl) and “F” keys. When the search box appears, type the name of your drug. Press the “Enter” key. You also have the option to print the drug list as a PDF document. The drug list is updated monthly.
Puede encontrar la Herramienta de Búsqueda de la Lista de Medicamentos (formulario) en la barra lateral de navegación.
You can find the List of Drugs (formulary) as a PDF document on the Drug List (Formulary) and Other Documents page in the sidebar navigation (within the Pharmacy section).

Notificación de Cambios de la Lista de Medicamentos
Our drug list (formulary) can change during the year. Most changes in drug coverage happen at the beginning of the year. However, during the year, our plan can make changes to the drug list. Generally, we will tell you before we make any of the following mid-year changes:
- Add or remove drugs from the list
- Move a drug to a higher or lower cost-sharing tier
- Add or remove a restriction on coverage for a drug
- Replace a brand name drug with a generic version of the drug
- Replace an original biological product with an interchangeable biosimilar version of the biological product
If the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the drug’s maker says a drug is not safe or is taken off the market for another reason, it will be removed from our list of drugs right away. In addition, if a new generic drug comes to market, we may remove the brand name drug. To view the changes, open the List of Drug Change Notice PDF document below.
You can find the List of Drugs - Change Notice as a PDF document on the Drug List (Formulary) and Other Documents page in the sidebar navigation (within the Pharmacy section).
Autorización Previa, Tratamiento Escalonado y Límites de Cantidad
- Prior Authorization: We require you to get approval from us before we agree to cover certain drugs. We call this prior authorization. If you don’t get approval, you may be asked to pay for the drug. Drugs that require a prior authorization are noted with a “PA" or "PA-NS” on the List of Drugs (formulary).
- Tratamiento Escalonado: En algunos casos, exigimos que primero pruebe ciertos medicamentos para tratar su afección médica antes de que cubramos otros medicamentos para tratar esa afección. Este requisito de probar primero un medicamento diferente se llama tratamiento escalonado. Los medicamentos que requieren tratamiento escalonado se indican con "ST" en la Lista de Medicamentos (formulario).
- Límites de Cantidad: Para algunos medicamentos, existe un límite en la cantidad que cubrimos. Por ejemplo, una tableta por día. Esto puede complementar el suministro estándar mensual o trimestral. Los medicamentos que requieren límites de cantidad se indican con "QL" en la Lista de Medicamentos (formulario).
You can find the Prior Authorization Criteria and the Step Therapy Criteria forms as PDF documents on the Drug List (Formulary) and Other Documents page in the sidebar navigation (within the Pharmacy section).
Determinaciones sobre la Cobertura de Medicamentos
You can ask us to make an exception to our coverage rules for your drug(s). To learn about the types of exceptions, refer to your Evidence of Coverage. When asking for an exception, include a statement from your doctor that supports your request, plus a completed Coverage Determination form.
Generally, we must decide within 72 hours of getting your doctor’s supporting statement. You or your doctor can request a fast (expedited) exception if your health may be harmed by waiting. If we approve your expedited request, we must give you a decision within 24 hours after we get your doctor’s supporting statement.
You can find the Coverage Determination forms at the bottom of the Pharmacy page found in the sidebar navigation.
Medicamentos Genéricos
We cover both brand name drugs and generic drugs. Generic drugs have the same active ingredient formula as a brand name drug. Generic drugs are FDA-approved, and are as safe and effective as brand name drugs. They have the same active ingredients, indications, dosages, safety, and strengths as the brand name drugs and generally cost less. Ask your doctor if any of your drugs are available as a generic, and if a generic version will work for you.
