 Preferred Medication List/Formulary
(PML)
You can always find our most current
version of the Preferred Medication List/Formulary (PML)
here on the RegenceRx Web site. The following lists, available
in alphabetical
and therapeutic
class formats, can assist you in choosing a generic
or preferred medication for your patients.
- Alphabetical
List
- Generic
Medications - A large number of generic medications
are available. If you choose a generic, your patient
will most likely pay the least amount for these
medications. Generics provide the same high quality
and therapeutic benefit as brand-name medications,
without the brand-name price.
- Brand-Name
Medications - Brand-name medications listed
on the PML/Formulary are available at your patient’s
brand copay (or coinsurance) level. They are owned
(protected by patent) and manufactured by a specific
company. When the patent expires on a brand name
medication, that medication can then be manufactured
and distributed by other companies.
- Therapeutic
Class List
You can also download a PDA version of the PML/Formulary
at www.epocrates.com.
Healthy
Options OTC Formulary - The following over-the-counter
products are covered for Asuris Northwest Health and Regence
BlueShield Healthy Options members only and are benefit
exclusions on most other plans.
Non-Formulary Medications
Any medication not listed on the PML is not on the formulary.
If your patient has a three-tier copay/coinsurance plan,
the non-formulary medication is only available at the highest
copayment or at your patient’s own expense with a
closed formulary design.
