Preventive Prescription Drugs: A Good Choice
Prescription drugs that can help keep you from developing a health condition are called preventive prescription drugs. They can help you maintain your quality of life and avoidexpensive treatment, helping to reduce your overall healthcare costs.
If your doctor prescribes a preventive prescription drug, you pay only a percentage of the total cost – right from the beginning.
Is Your Drug a Preventive Prescription Drug?
The following is a list of the most commonly prescribed preventive drugs. The list is not all-inclusive and does not guarantee coverage. Not all the drugs listed are covered by allprescription-drug benefit programs; check your benefit materials for the specific drugs covered and the copayment information for your prescription-drug benefit program.
For the member: Generic drugs are listed in lower case letters. Example: atenolol. Generic medications contain the same active ingredients as their corresponding brand-name
medications, although they may look different in color or shape. They have been FDA-approved under strict standards.
Brand-name drugs are listed in CAPITAL letters. Example: TENORMIN. In addition to using this list, you are encouraged to ask your doctor to prescribe generic drugs wheneverappropriate.
Some drugs are marked with a symbol “*”. The symbol * next to a drug signifies subject to nonpreferred status when generic is available throughout the year.
For the physician: Please prescribe preferred (Best Buy) products and allow generic substitutions when medically appropriate. Thank you.
NOTE: This list does not indicate coverage. You or your doctor may be asked to prove that the drug you're taking is being used for prevention. This list does not include
all conditions that may be prevented with preventive prescription drugs or all preventive drugs available. Your plan sponsor believes that these drugs satisfy the
requirements for preventive care as outlined by the U.S. Treasury Department but cannot ensure that the Treasury Department would agree that all of these drugs satisfy
the definition of preventive care.
