Selection of PML/Formulary Medications
Before a medication is added to our PML, RegenceRx
pharmacists:
- Research scientific and evidence based data
- Perform an extensive evaluation
- Give recommendations to an independent committee
of physicians and pharmacists who make the final
formulary decisions
The PML is updated throughout the year to reflect
new medications available on the market. At least one
or more medications are available on the PML for each
condition that is a covered benefit.
Non-Formulary Medications
- Any medication not listed on the PML is non-formulary
- If your patient has a closed formulary benefit,
non-formulary medications are only available at the
member’s expense
- If your patient has a three-tier prescription benefit,
non-formulary medications are only available at the
highest copayment
