Designated Prescription Drug Prescribers and Pharmacies We may limit your selection of a pharmacy to a single pharmacy location and/or a single prescribing provider or practice. Those members subject to this designation include, but are not limited to, members that have a history of: • being prescribed prescription drugs by multiple providers; • having prescriptions drugs filled at multiple pharmacies; • being prescribed certain long-acting opioids and other controlled substances, either in combination or separately, that suggests a need for monitoring due to: o quantities dispensed; o daily dosage range; or o the duration of therapy exceeds reasonable and established thresholds.
Prescription Drugs This plan covers prescription drugs and diabetic equipment or supplies. When they are purchased from a pharmacy, prescription drugs and diabetic equipment or supplies are covered as a pharmacy benefit. In most cases, when the prescription drug requires administration by a provider other than a pharmacist (or the FDA approved recommendation is administration by a provider other than a pharmacist), the prescription drug is covered as a medical benefit referred to as “medical prescription drugs”. See subsection B: Medical Benefits - Prescription Drugs Administered by a Provider (other than a pharmacist) below for further information. Please see Pharmacy Benefits subsection A and Medical Benefits subsection B below for information about how these prescription drugs are covered. Prescription drugs and diabetic equipment or supplies are covered when dispensed using the following guidelines: • the prescription must be medically necessary, consistent with the physician’s diagnosis, ordered by a physician whose license allows him or her to order it, filled at a pharmacy whose license allows such a prescription to be filled, and filled according to state and federal laws; • the prescription must consist of legend drugs that require a physician’s prescription under law, or compound medications made up of at least one legend drug requiring a physician’s prescription under law; • the prescription must be dispensed at the proper place of service as determined by our Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee. For example, certain prescription drugs may only be covered when obtained from a specialty pharmacy; and • the prescription is limited to the quantities authorized by your physician not to exceed the quantity listed in the Summary of Pharmacy Benefits.
