1

00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:06,500

possible cost is our priority.

4

00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,900

Costs low, your plan covers a list of medications used to treat

 

5

00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:17,900

most conditions. This list is sometimes

 

6

00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:19,000

called your drug formulary.

 

7

00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,600

It's important to review this list with your doctor so they can try to

 

8

00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,700

prescribe an effective medication. That's also covered by your

 

9

00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:27,700

plan.

 

10

00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:32,800

The easiest way to see which medications are covered is to sign into your

 

11

00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,700

caremark.com account and review your plan info.

 

12

00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:38,900

You can also use our drug cost and

 

13

00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:41,500

before you fill a prescription.

 

15

00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,800

If your doctor still prescribes a medication that isn't covered by your plan,

 

16

00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,400

then you may need prior authorization,

 

17

00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,700

This process ensures certain criteria is met before your

 

18

00:00:58,700 --> 00:00:59,500

plan will cover your prescription.

 

19

00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,400

There are a few reasons, why a prior authorization might be required.

 

20

00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:09,700

the medication may be unsafe when combined, with other

 

21

00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:10,500

medications you're taking

 

22

00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:13,400

Used only for certain health conditions.

 

23

00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,800

Have the potential for misuse or abuse?

 

24

00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,400

Or an effective alternative might be available.

 

25

00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,200

If your medication does require a prior authorization,

 

26

00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,900

you should speak with your doctor to see if an alternative

 

27

00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:30,900

is available, if not, then you or

 

28

00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:33,900

your pharmacist can ask your doctor to start a prior

 

29

00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:33,900

authorization.

 

30

00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,800

Will then work with your doctor to get additional information that will

 

31

00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,000

help us to determine if the medication should be covered.

 

32

00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,900

The process can take several days and depends on how complete

 

33

00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:48,000

and quickly information is provided and reviewed.

 

34

00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,600

If approved, you can fill your prescription. If deny,

 

35

00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,900

you'll receive a letter and then you can ask

 

36

00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:58,700

your doctor. If there's another medication covered by your plan,

 

37

00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:01,300

that may also work for you. If you have not already

 

38

00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,400

40
