About your drug list
What is a formulary?
A formulary is a list of drugs covered under your plan, with details about the type of coverage. You may hear the word "formulary" during a doctor’s visit or when you pick up a prescription.
Does the main list include every covered drug?
Your pharmacy benefits plan includes thousands of drugs – too many to list. So your main drug list contains only the most commonly prescribed drugs.
