Prescription Drug Formulary Information 

What is the SummaCare Medicare Formulary? 

The SummaCare Medicare Formulary is a list of covered drugs under each SummaCare Medicare Advantage plan. SummaCare will generally cover the drugs listed in our formulary as long as the drug is medically necessary, the prescription is filled at a network pharmacy and other plan rules are followed.

SummaCare covers both brand name drugs and generic drugs. Generic drugs have the same active-ingredient formula as brand name drugs. Generic drugs usually cost less than brand name drugs and are rated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be as safe and effective as brand name drugs.

How Does SummaCare Organize Covered Drugs?

SummaCare organizes our covered drugs into six tiers:

  • Tier 1 Preferred Generic
  • Tier 2 Generic
  • Tier 3 Preferred Brand Name
  • Tier 4 Non-Preferred
  • Tier 5 Specialty
  • Tier 6 Select Care Drugs and Vaccines

In addition, SummaCare covers some common non-prescription over-the-counter (OTC) generic drugs at a $0 copay if prescribed by a doctor.

Can the Formulary Change?

Generally, if you are taking a drug on our formulary that was covered at the beginning of the year, we will not discontinue or reduce coverage of the drug during the coverage year except when a new, less expensive generic drug becomes available or when new adverse information about the safety or effectiveness of a drug is released.

If we remove drugs from our formulary or add prior authorization, quantity limits and/or step therapy restrictions on a drug or move a drug to a higher cost-sharing tier, we must notify affected members of the change at least 30 days before the change becomes effective, or at the time the member requests a refill of the drug, at which time the member will receive a 30-day supply of the drug. If the Food and Drug Administration deems a drug on our formulary to be unsafe or the drug’s manufacturer removes the drug from the market, we will immediately remove the drug from our formulary and provide notice to members who take the drug.
