INTRODUCTION We are pleased to provide the 2020 CareFirst Formulary 4 as a useful reference and informational tool. This document can assist practitioners in selecting clinically appropriate and cost-effective products for their patients. The drugs represented have been reviewed by a National Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee and are approved for inclusion. The document is reflective of current medical practice as of the date of review. The information contained in this document and its appendices is provided solely for the convenience of medical providers. We do not warrant or assure accuracy of such information nor is it intended to be comprehensive in nature. This document is not intended to be a substitute for the knowledge, expertise, skill and judgment of the medical provider in his or her choice of prescription drugs. All the information in the document is provided as a reference for drug therapy selection. Specific drug selection for an individual patient rests solely with the prescriber. The document is subject to state-specific regulations and rules, including, but not limited to, those regarding generic substitution, controlled substance schedules, preference for brands and mandatory generics whenever applicable. We assume no responsibility for the actions or omissions of any medical provider based upon reliance, in whole or in part, on the information contained herein. The medical provider should consult the drug manufacturer's product literature or standard references for more detailed information. National guidelines can be found on the National Guideline Clearinghouse site at https://www.ahrq.gov/gam/, on the websites listed under each therapeutic class and on the sites listed in the Websites section of this publication.

PREFACE The document is organized by sections. Each section is divided by therapeutic drug class primarily defined by mechanism of action. Products are listed by generic name with brand name for reference only. Unless the cited drug is available as an injectable or an exception is specifically noted, generally, all applicable dosage forms and strengths of the drug cited are included in the document. Drugs represented in this document may have varying cost to the plan member based on the plan's benefit structure. Some prescription benefit plan designs may alter coverage of certain products or vary copay amounts based on the condition being treated. Generic medications typically are available at the lower cost, brand-name medications on the document will generally cost more than generics. Generics should be considered the first line of prescribing subject to applicable rules. Drugs are placed into tiers or levels of cost sharing by the plan member in the following manner: Tier 1: Preferred generic drugs. Tier 2: Preferred brand-name drugs. Tier 3: Preferred Specialty generic drugs. Tier 4: Preferred Specialty brand-name drugs.

PHARMACY AND THERAPEUTICS (P&T) COMMITTEE The services of an independent National Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee ("P&T Committee") are utilized to approve safe and clinically effective drug therapies. The P&T Committee is an external advisory body of clinical professionals from across the United States. The P&T Committee's voting members include physicians, pharmacists, a pharmacoeconomist and a medical ethicist, all of whom have a broad background of clinical and academic expertise regarding prescription drugs. Voting members of the P&T Committee must disclose any financial relationship or conflicts of interest with any pharmaceutical manufacturers.

DRUG LIST PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS To assist in understanding which specific strengths and dosage forms on the document are covered, examples are noted below. The general principles shown in the examples can usually be extended to other entries in the document. Any exceptions are noted. Listed products on the document generally include all strengths and all oral dosage forms of the cited product. escitalopram Lexapro Oral tablets, oral solution and all strengths of Lexapro would be included in this listing. Nasal sprays require a separate entry. sumatriptan nasal spray Imitrex Oral disintegrating tablets require a separate entry. prednisolone sodium phosphate orally disintegrating tabs Orapred ODT Injectable dosage forms require a separate entry. sumatriptan inj Imitrex When a strength or dosage form is specified, only the specified strength and dosage form is on the document. Other strengths/dosage forms, including injectable dosage forms of the reference product are not. gabapentin caps, tabs Neurontin The capsule and tablet formulations are listed on the document, but the oral solution is not. Extended-release and delayed-release products require their own entry. tofacitinib Xeljanz The immediate-release product listing of Xeljanz alone would not include the extended-release product Xeljanz XR. tofacitinib ext-rel Xeljanz XR A separate entry for Xeljanz XR confirms that the extended-release product is on the document. Dosage forms on the document will be consistent with the category and use where listed. nystatin The above nystatin entry listed in the TOPICAL/DERMATOLOGY section is limited to the topical dosage forms. From this entry the oral formulations cannot be assumed to be on the list unless there is an entry for this product in the ANTI-INFECTIVES section of the document.

GENERIC SUBSTITUTION Generic substitution is a pharmacy action whereby a generic version is dispensed rather than a prescribed brand-name product. Boldface type indicates generic availability. However, not all strengths or dosage forms of the generic name in boldface type may be generically available. In most instances, a brand-name drug for which a generic product becomes available will become non-formulary, with the generic product covered in its place, upon release of the generic product to the market. However, the document is subject to state specific regulations and rules regarding generic substitution and mandatory generic rules apply where appropriate. Generic drugs are usually priced lower than their brand-name equivalents. Prescription generic drugs are:

• Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for safety and effectiveness, and are manufactured under the same strict standards that apply to brand-name drugs.

• Tested in humans to assure the generic is absorbed into the bloodstream in a similar rate and extent compared to the brand-name drug (bioequivalence). Generics may be different from the brand in size, color and inactive ingredients, but this does not alter their effectiveness or ability to be absorbed just like the brand-name drug.

• Manufactured in the same strength and dosage form as the brand-name drugs.

Page 7: CareFirst Formulary 4Sep 01, 2020  · Federal Employees Health Benefits Program . List of Covered Drugs . 2020. PLEASE READ: this document contains information about the drugs . we

When a generic drug is substituted for a brand-name drug, you can expect the generic to produce the same clinical effect and safety profile as the brand-name drug (therapeutic equivalence).

SPECIALTY MEDICATIONS A new, rapidly growing category of drugs, specialty medications are the result of continued advances in drug development technology and design. They are created to target and treat complex chronic or genetic medical conditions and include bioengineered proteins, blood-derived products and complex molecules. The therapeutic categories listed below include products that are covered as part of the Specialty benefit.

Acromegaly Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Amyloidosis Anemia Asthma Atopic Dermatitis Cardiac Disorders Coagulation Disorders Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes Cystic Fibrosis Electrolyte Disorders Gastrointestinal Disorders-Other Gout Growth Hormone & Related Disorders Hematopoietics Hemophilia, Von Willebrand Disease & Related Bleeding Disorders Hepatitis C Hereditary Angioedema Hormonal Therapies Immune Deficiencies & Related Disorders Infectious Disease - Other Inflammatory Bowel Disease Iron Overload

Lysosomal Storage Disorders Mental Health Conditions Movement Disorders Multiple Sclerosis Neutropenia Oncology - Injectable Oncology - Oral/Topical Osteoporosis Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria Phenylketonuria Pre-Term Birth Psoriasis Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Pulmonary Disorders - Other Rare Disorders - Other Renal Disease Respiratory Syncytial Virus Rheumatoid Arthritis Seizure Disorders Sickle Cell Disease Sleep Disorders Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Thrombocytopenia Urea Cycle Disorders

Specialty Guideline Management (SGM)

SGM is our utilization management program that helps ensure appropriate utilization for specialty medications based on currently accepted evidence-based medicine guidelines. The utilization management program is available for therapeutic areas dispensed by our specialty pharmacies. SGM is designed to help ensure safety and efficacy while preventing off-guideline utilization. Medications which may be included in the SGM program are identified in the document as “SP” for your reference. For additional information, contact CareFirst Pharmacy Services at 800-241-3371 or CVS Specialty at 855-264-3237 for any questions about covered specialty drugs.

PLAN DESIGN The document represents a closed formulary plan design. Certain medications on the list are covered if utilization management criteria are met (i.e., Step Therapy, Prior Authorization, Quantity Limits, etc.); requests for use of such medications outside of their listed criteria will be reviewed for medical necessity. If a medication is not listed on the document, a formulary exception may be requested for coverage. Medical necessity or formulary exception requests will be reviewed based on drug-specific prior authorization criteria or standard non-formulary prescription request criteria.

Individual pharmacy benefit plans may impose restrictions or not reimburse some products.
