2021 Preventive medications
and your plan

Managing your health with preventive medications
Your pharmacy benefit plan includes special coverage for generic
preventive medications. These medications help protect against or
manage a medical condition, such as:
• Preventing blood clots and reducing the risk of a stroke
• Preventing heart disease and reducing high blood pressure
• Preventing osteoporosis
   (a disease that leads to an increased risk of bone fracture)
Your health is important. Taking preventive medications as told by
your healthcare provider can help you avoid serious illness and high
healthcare costs.
Special coverage for generic preventive medications
The drugs on your plan’s preventive medications list do not have a deductible.
This means you’ll pay your copayment/coinsurance or nothing at all, depending
on your plan. It can save you money and get the medications you need to help
you live a healthier life.
Your plan only offers this special coverage for generic drugs on the preventive
medications list. Preventive medications are a group of products in your plan’s
formulary which tells you what medications your plan covers.
Please note that most medications on the formulary have a deductible, but
generic preventive medications do not. To check the cost of any medication,
see your benefit handbook or contact customer service at the member phone
number on your ID card.

Quality drives our decisions
A group of doctors and pharmacists meets often to review medications and
suggest coverage under pharmacy benefit plans. They also recommend which
medications should be on plan’s generic preventive medications list.

A list of generic preventive medications begins on the next page. Medications
are listed by therapeutic category. Your specific plan may not cover all of the
drugs. Please see your plan’s formulary for coverage details. Oral and
self-injectable Specialty medications are labled with an SP note and may have
limitations based on your plan benefit. For questions on injectable dose forms of
preventive medications driven by your healthcare provider, please call the member
phone number on your ID card.
