Prescription drug benefits from Regence BlueShield Regence BlueShield wants you to get the most from your benefits and to have the information you need to make smart decisions about prescription drugs. Our prescription drug benefit provides resources to help you and your doctor understand the latest and best information about effective, quality drugs that also provide value. Regence BlueShield prescription drug program Your prescription drug coverage provides benefits for drugs listed on the Regence BlueShield Essential Formulary. Medications not listed on this formulary (non-formulary medications) are not covered. The formulary is a list of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved prescription generic, brand-name and specialty drugs. Regence consults with a team of physicians and pharmacists to develop the formulary, which offers drug treatment choices for covered medical conditions. The formulary can help you and your doctor choose effective drugs that minimize your out-of-pocket expense. You can buy formulary drugs at participating retail, mail-order and specialty pharmacies. The Regence formulary is available on regence.com. Changes to the formulary Our Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee (made up of doctors and pharmacists who practice in the communities we serve) continues to review the latest evidence to identify opportunities for promoting safe, effective and affordable drug therapy. Generally, if you are currently taking a formulary drug, its formulary status will not change during the year unless:

• The same drug becomes available in generic form, or • Safety or effectiveness concerns are raised, or • The Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee determines that changes to the formulary would “overall” be

in the best interest of health plan members. In such cases, impacted individuals are always notified in writing if the formulary change results in a reduction of benefits or an increase in copay.

What is the Essential Formulary prescription drug benefit? With an Essential Formulary benefit, prescription drugs fall into one of four categories or “tiers.” Each tier has a different cost share.* Tier 1— Generic and select brand-name insulin Lowest cost share.

Generic drugs are as effective, safe and high-quality as their brand-name counterparts, yet less expensive.

Tier 2—Category 1 brand-name Because of their value and effectiveness, these are considered to be preferred when there is no generic.

Tier 3—Category 2 brand-name These drugs may be more expensive and are less preferred than their alternatives in Tier 1 or Tier 2.

Tier 4—Specialty medications These are used to treat complex medical conditions and are available through our designated specialty pharmacy. They may require more involvement with your doctor and require special storage and handling.

*“Cost share” means that your benefit may feature a deductible, fixed-dollar copay tiers, percentage/coinsurance tiers, or a combination of both.

What are your cost shares for Tier 1, 2, 3 or 4 drugs? You can find your cost shares in your benefit booklet or when you log in to regence.com. Of course, you can always call Customer Service at the number listed on the back of your member card. About prescription drugs Preventive drugs Preventive care benefits are an integral part of a comprehensive health care plan that includes preventive drug therapies. Under some plans, you may not be required to pay a copay or coinsurance, or meet your deductible for preventive medications. Preventive drugs are prescribed to prevent the occurrence of a disease or condition for those individuals with risk factors, or to prevent the recurrence of a disease or condition for those who have recovered. They do not include drugs that treat an existing illness, injury or condition. Refer to your plan benefit booklet or online benefit summary to determine if your plan covers preventive drugs. To view the covered PPACA Preventive Care Medication List, go to RegenceRx.com and click on Learn About Medications > What’s Covered. Advantages of generic drugs Consumer Reports says, “Generics are every bit as pure, potent, and safe as brands.”1 That’s because the FDA regulates generic drugs just as it does brand-name drugs, ensuring that generics offer the same level of quality, strength, effectiveness and purity as their brand-name equivalents. All generics, by law, must have the same active ingredients as their brand-named equivalent.

• Generic equivalent: The same active ingredient, strength and dosage form as the brand-name • Generic alternative: A different chemical that has a similar effect as the brand-name

Generic drugs generally cost less than brand-name drugs because they are created without the expenses incurred by brand-name drugs (such as research, development and marketing). Talk with your doctor to see whether a generic drug is right for you. About specialty drugs Many people with complex conditions, such as, but not limited to, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer, require special medications. These drugs are available through our designated specialty pharmacy and may require special handling. We have created the Specialty Pharmacy Program to focus solely on the delivery of specialty drugs and the specific needs of members who require them. The program includes:

• Educational materials, counseling and product information • 24-hour access to clinical assistance from pharmacists and nurses • Refill reminders • Free delivery and supplies • Convenient delivery in unmarked packaging to assure privacy

You are allowed to fill your first specialty prescription at a retail pharmacy if the medication is available. After this fill, you will get a letter advising you that all future fills must be done at one of our contracted specialty pharmacies in order for your drug to be covered. For more information on the Specialty Pharmacy Program, refer to the Benefit from Special Programs section of RegenceRx.com.

Tips for getting your prescription filled Filling your prescription at a retail pharmacy We have contracted with RegenceRx for our participating pharmacy network. This network provides with you access to a nationwide network of over 55,000 pharmacies. To receive coverage under your plan’s prescription drug benefit, you need to use a pharmacy in this network and present your member card before purchasing your prescription. This will not only ensure that you pay the correct cost share, it will also provide the pharmacist with your prescription history to help inform him or her of any drug sensitivities you may have. If you go to a pharmacy not in the network, your medication will not be covered. Most pharmacies in your area are part of the network. If you need a prescription filled while you’re traveling, you’ll find network pharmacies throughout the United States. Simply go to Find a Provider on regence.com. Your prescription drug benefit usually provides you with a 30-day supply of medication at a retail pharmacy. Check your benefit booklet or benefit summary online to determine your pharmacy benefit limit. If your prescription is filled for less than the typical 30-day supply, you will still have to pay the full copay amount. Save time and money with prescriptions by mail If you take a maintenance medication, you can receive your medicine by mail from Walgreens Mail Service Pharmacy™, an independent company that provides our members with mail-order pharmacy service. You save time with fewer trips to the local pharmacy, and you save money with discounted prices and lower cost shares. This service lets you receive prescriptions up to the maximum supply allowed by your health plan—typically 90 days, but it may vary by plan—at a lower cost than what you would pay for the same amount at a retail pharmacy. Refer to your benefit booklet for details. How to receive your prescription by mail from the Walgreens Mail Service Pharmacy Getting started is easy!

1. Since it takes about two weeks to receive your prescription, ask your doctor to write two separate prescriptions (be sure that your doctor indicates if refills are allowed on your prescription):

a. One for a 30-day supply that you can fill right away at a local retail pharmacy

b. One for a 90-day supply, or supply maximum allowed by your plan, that you can mail or fax to Walgreens Mail Service within two weeks of your medicine running out

2. Complete a Mail Service Registration Form, which you can download from the Get Prescriptions section on RegenceRx.com.

3. Send your prescription(s), order form and payment for each prescription to the address or fax number located on the order form. You can pay with a personal check or credit card.

You will receive your prescriptions by mail in about two weeks, delivered in sealed, insulated (when necessary) and tamper-evident packaging. Make it even easier Ordering new prescriptions and refills is easier once you establish an account with the Walgreens Mail Service Pharmacy. Simply log in to Walgreens.com/MailService and follow the instructions for convenient online refilling of your prescription. Or order your refills by calling Walgreens Customer Care at 1 (888) 832-5462.

Quality drug therapy with the Prior Authorization Program Using your medications correctly for maintaining good health is important. Our Prior Authorization Program supports you and your doctor as you make decisions about your care and the use of prescription medications. The program aims to improve the quality of your drug therapy by:

• Promoting the appropriate use of your medications • Checking the appropriate length of your drug therapy

How the program works When you go to the pharmacy to fill your prescription, your prescription drug therapy is checked to see if it meets recommended guidelines:

• If the drug meets these guidelines, your prescription is filled instantly without interruption. • If the drug does not meet the guidelines, your prescription will not be filled until it has been reviewed.

Review process The prior authorization process is simple. Your doctor or pharmacist can request prior authorization by going to RegenceRx.com/pa, calling 1 (800) 643-5918, or faxing 1 (888) 437-1510.

Once we receive your doctor’s information, our review process will take one to two business days. We’ll send you a letter confirming the decision made about the drug therapy. We’ll also fax the notification to your doctor. If your drug therapy is approved, then your prescription is covered by your prescription drug benefit, and it can be filled at your pharmacy the same day the decision is made. Medications subject to the Prior Authorization Program Drugs tagged with PA in the formulary must go through the prior authorization review process. For an updated list of medications that require prior authorization, refer to the Get Prescriptions section of RegenceRx.com.

Frequently asked questions Q. What are my cost-share amounts? A. Check your benefit booklet to see what your cost share is for each tier. Q. What if I want to take a brand-name drug, even if there is a generic available? A. The drug you take is your choice. In some cases, if you choose to stay on a brand-name drug when a generic is available, you may have to pay more or up to the full price for your medication. Q. Are the drugs just the ones that are the cheapest? A. No. All the drugs on our formulary must be FDA-approved and determined by the Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee to be safe and effective. When several drugs are similar in safety and effectiveness, one or more of the lower-cost choices are selected for our formulary. Q. I’ve heard that some people can’t take generic drugs. Why not? A. A brand-name drug and its generic equivalent have the same active ingredients. However, different manufacturers sometimes use different inactive ingredients to hold the active ingredients together in a pill or capsule. In rare instances, people may have an allergic reaction to the inactive ingredients. This type of allergic reaction can happen just as often with a brand-name drug as with a generic drug. Q. What if there is no generic drug available to substitute for my brand-name drug? A. Even if your brand-name drug does not have a generic equivalent yet, there may be another generic available within the same class of drugs that will work just as well for you. Consult with your doctor to evaluate your options. Q. What if my doctor says I have to take a drug not included on the formulary?

V

Page 6: Regence BlueShield Essential Formulary

A. Non-formulary medications are not covered under your prescription drug benefit. If you choose to use a non-formulary medication, you will be responsible for the full price. Although not typically covered, if a medication not on the formulary is determined to be medically necessary, it may be substituted for coverage. You or your doctor will need to request prior authorization so that we can determine that a medication not on the formulary is medically necessary. Review your benefit booklet or employer’s contract for more information on this substitution process. Q. Are there any excluded categories of drugs? A. Yes. Common exclusions include drugs for obesity, infertility and sexual dysfunction on the Regence BlueShield Essential Formulary. Certain drugs that have an available generic or an over-the-counter alternative are not covered. Review your benefit booklet or employer’s contract for your plan’s exclusions. Q. What does it mean when my drug is covered under the medical benefit? A. Drugs covered under the medical benefit are often injected or infused and typically require administration by a health care professional. These drugs and their related services are covered under your medical benefit and are excluded from coverage under the prescription drug benefit. Please refer to your benefit contract, log in to see your benefits on regence.com or contact Customer Service for coverage details specific to your plan. Q. Can I use any pharmacy I want? A. No. To receive benefit coverage under this program, you need to use a participating network pharmacy. If you go to a pharmacy not in the network, you will receive no benefits at all. When it comes to specialty drugs, they are covered only when purchased through our specialty pharmacy. Refer to your benefit booklet for details about the Specialty Pharmacy Program and coverage at a non-network pharmacy. Q. How do I find a network pharmacy near my home or when I am away? A. Most pharmacies in your area are likely to be part of the network. There are also network pharmacies throughout the United States. Use Find a Provider on regence.com or call the toll-free 24-hour Pharmacy Locator line at 1 (800) 391-9701 to find a network pharmacy near you. Q. How do I enroll in the Specialty Pharmacy Program? A. You are allowed to fill your first specialty prescription at the retail pharmacy. After a fill, we will send a letter advising you that future fills must be done at one of our contracted specialty pharmacies for your drug to be covered by your health plan. Call Customer Service using the number on the back of your member card for more information about our contracted specialty pharmacies. Q. Is there more drug information available to members? A. Members may log in to regence.com for more information on their medications and benefits.
