The Preferred Medication List is a guide for members with three-tier prescription plans. Quarterly, pharmacists and medical professionals review the list to ensure it includes safe, cost-effective medications and reflects changes in the availability of certain drugs. Unless otherwise indicated, the generic equivalents of brand-name drugs deleted continue to be covered at the lowest copayment. They are safe, effective and can save you money. Visit our website for the complete Preferred Medication List.
