The Closed Formulary Medication Guide also includes an abbreviated listing of Generic, and a complete listing of Brand Prescription Drugs (the formulary) that are covered under your plan.

We reserve the right to add or remove or change the tier of any prescription medication in this Medication Guide at any time. Note: The decision concerning whether a prescription medication should be prescribed must be made by you and your physician. Any and all decisions that require or pertain to independent professional medical judgments or training, or the need for, and dosage of, a prescription medication, must be made solely by you and your treating physician in accordance with the patient/physician relationship. Key Tips and Coverage Guidelines By following these simple guidelines, you will be assured that you are getting the maximum benefit from your plan. When you have your prescriptions filled, ask your pharmacist if a Generic equivalent is available. Generic Prescription Drugs are usually less expensive and are covered unless specifically excluded under your Pharmacy Program Endorsement. You can check your Schedule of Benefits to determine your copay amount. Select Brand Name Prescription Drugs are included in the formulary and are therefore available to you through your plan. The Closed Formulary List includes all covered Brand Name Prescription Drugs. You can determine your out-of-pocket amount for Brand Name Prescription Drugs by reviewing your Schedule of Benefits. Brand Name Prescription Drugs not listed in the Closed Formulary List are not covered. If you are currently taking a medication, take a moment to review the formulary to determine if it is covered. If not, check with your doctor to understand available options and review the PHARMACY BENEFIT section of this Guide for exception procedures. If you or your provider request a covered Brand Name Prescription Drug when there is a Generic Prescription Drug available; you will be responsible for: () the difference in cost between the Generic Prescription Drug and the Brand Name Prescription Drug; and (2) the cost share applicable to Brand Name Prescription Drugs, as indicated on your Schedule of Benefits Take this Guide with you when you visit your doctor or health care provider so that he or she is aware of the drugs listed in the Closed Formulary and cost impacts when you discuss medication options.

3 Preface Closed Formulary The Closed Formulary Medication Guide includes the Closed Formulary list and reflects the current recommendations of Florida Blue and is developed in conjunction with Prime Therapeutics National Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee. Florida Blue reserves the right to add or remove or change the tier of any prescription drug in this Medication Guide at any time. All Generic Prescription Drugs are covered unless specifically excluded by your plan. Brand Name Prescription Drugs are covered only if they are included in the Closed Formulary list. For your out-of-pocket expenses to be as low as possible, please consider asking your doctor to prescribe Generic drugs, or if necessary, Brand Name Prescription Drugs that are included on the Closed Formulary List. This will help ensure that your covered prescription drugs are allowed and reimbursed under your plan. In addition, consider using a participating pharmacy to obtain your covered prescription drugs because your out-of-pocket expenses should be lower than if you used a nonparticipating pharmacy. To save the most money on prescription drugs, share this Medication Guide with your doctor or health care provider at each visit. When you have your prescriptions filled, ask your pharmacist if a Generic Drug is available. Generic Drugs save you the most money. Changes to the formulary The Closed Formulary List is subject to change at any time. It is reviewed quarterly to examine new medications and new information about medications that are already on the market concerning safety, effectiveness and current use in therapy. The most up to date information about modifications to the medications listed in this Closed Formulary Medication Guide can be found by: Going to Click on the Members tab Click on the Login Now button and either Login or Register Once Logged in, click on My Plan, then select Pharmacy from the drop down menu Under Medication Guide/Approved Drug Lists, click Closed Formulary Medication Guide or Closed Formulary Medication Guide Updates Medication Guides are posted every January and July, and Medication Guide Updates are posted January, April, July and October.

4 Pharmacy benefit The pharmacy benefit has two parts/components, called Tiers. This means that covered Prescription Drugs must be included in one of the following Tiers: Tier : Generic Prescription Drugs whether listed in the Closed Formulary List or not. Tier 2: Only those Brand Name Prescription drugs listed in the Closed Formulary List. Medications: Covered Medications as indicated in the Medication List Condition Care Rx* Value/HSA Preventive Prescription Medications * Refer to the Condition Care Rx Program section of this Medication Guide for a description of the program Brand Name Drugs not listed in the Closed Formulary List are not covered. If you and your doctor or health care provider think that your condition cannot be treated by any of the medication(s) listed on the Closed Formulary List, your doctor may submit a request for an exception. If your exception request is approved, coverage will be available for the approved medication. Pharmacy options There are two different types of pharmacies for you to be aware of as you decide where to get your prescriptions filled retail pharmacies and specialty pharmacies. To save the most money, before you get a prescription filled, you should confirm which pharmacy is considered in-network for that particular medication. Retail Pharmacy Network Non- Generic medications and Brand Name medications listed in the Medication Guide can be filled at these pharmacies at a lower cost to you than other pharmacies in your area. If you go to a non-participating pharmacy, your prescription will cost you more. Pharmacy Network We have identified certain drugs as specialty drugs due to requirements such as special handling, storage, training, distribution, and management of the therapy. These drugs are listed as a Drug in this Medication Guide. To be covered under your pharmacy program at the in-network cost share, they must be purchased at a preferred Pharmacy. These pharmacies are different than the retail pharmacies and are identified in both the Provider Directory and this Medication Guide. Using an innetwork Pharmacy to provide these Drugs lowers the amount you pay for these medications. Non-Participating Pharmacy If your plan offers out-of-network pharmacy coverage, choosing a non-participating pharmacy will cost you more money. You may have to pay the full cost of the medication and then file a claim to be reimbursed. Our payment will be based on our Non-Participating Pharmacy Allowance minus your cost share. You will be responsible for your cost share and the difference between our Allowance and the cost of the medication. Florida Blue is a trade name of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, Inc.

5 Formulary exception process A formulary exception process is provided to allow for cases where the Closed Formulary List may not accommodate the unique medical needs of a member (e.g. documented allergy, ineffectiveness, or intolerable adverse effects from drugs on the formulary).the formulary exception form is available at Click on the Providers tab Click Pharmacy Info & Resources then click Medication Guides Click Formulary Exception Physician Fax Form Florida Blue is not obligated to approve any exception or continue a previously approved exception. Generic drugs Florida Blue encourages the use of Generic Drugs as a way to provide high-quality medications at a reduced cost. Generic Drugs are as safe and effective as their Brand Name counterparts, and are usually less expensive. A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Generic Drug may be substituted for its Brand name counterpart because it: Contains the same active ingredient(s) as the Brand Name Drug Is identical in strength, dosage form, and route of administration Is therapeutically equivalent and can be expected to have the same clinical effect and safety profile Check with your doctor or health care provider to determine if switching to a Generic Drug is appropriate for you. Contraceptive coverage If your pharmacy plan includes contraceptives at no cost, as a result of the expanded PPACA Preventive Services benefits, only generic contraceptive medications or devices (e.g., oral contraceptives, emergency contraceptive, and diaphragms) are covered at no cost share when purchased at a participating pharmacy. Note: Check your Benefit Booklet, Certificate of Coverage, Contract, Member Handbook or prescription drug endorsement to determine if this benefit applies to your plan. Coverage details are also available to you by calling the customer service number listed on your member ID card. Responsible Rx programs Some covered medications may have additional requirements or limits on coverage. These requirements and limits may include: Program The Program encourages the appropriate, safe and cost-effective use of medication.
