MG42849G TLC MEMBER GUIDE_v2_MG42849G TLC MEMBER GUIDE_v2 6/15 Introduction
Welcome to your three-tier outpatient prescription drug plan!
Your three-tier drug program gives you access to all medications in coveredclasses within the confines of your plan’s benefit design. This plan excludescoverage for certain drugs or drug classes such as those prescribed for dietary supplements and cosmetic conditions.
Under this program, covered brand-name and generic drugs are categorizedinto three specific tiers, and each tier is assigned a co-payment level. (A co-payment is a fixed-dollar amount you pay for each prescription.) Some diabetic supplies, such as test strips and blood glucose meters, requirecoinsurance with no deductible in lieu of co-payment. (Coinsurance is a percentage you pay for each prescription.) Your Local Choice Drug Plan provides a prescription drug benefit that divides your prescriptions into three categories (tiers). A number of factorsare considered when classifying medications into tiers including, but notlimited to: •The cost of the medication relative to other medications in the same •The availability of over-the-counter alternatives Drugs may move periodically from one tier to another. Tiers contain the following types of drugs: Typically,
co-payment
generic drugs
Moderate
Typically, lower-cost
co-payment
brand-name drugs
Typically, higher-cost
co-payment
brand-name drugs
Mandatory generic program
Your prescription drug benefit is a mandatory generic program. This means
you will pay more if you purchase a brand-name drug when a generic is
available. The three-tier prescription drug program provides an excellent
opportunity for you to take an active role in your healthcare. Talk with your
doctor about the medications being prescribed for you and discuss possible
alternatives.
Beginning July 1, 2011, the prescription drug program was enhanced to provide a maximum out-of-pocket cost each time a member purchases abrand-name drug in three prescription drug categories when a generic isavailable. The three categories are Immunosuppressants, Anticonvulsants, andPsychotherapeutics. Members who take these drugs will pay no more than$100 per 34-day supply at retail and $200 per 90-day supply via mail service. The following pages list the most commonly prescribed covered drugs andtheir tier assignments or coinsurance percentage. This guide was developedto illustrate how the prescription drug program works and to provide examples of the choices available to you. It also serves as a reference pointfor discussing prescription options with your doctors. Together you canchoose not only the most appropriate medication for your condition, butmedications that can help keep your expenses as low as possible.
This booklet was designed so that generic products are listed
in each drug category. Corresponding brand-name versions
for these generics are shown in italics as a reference.

Outpatient Medications Requiring a Coverage Review
Certain medications require a coverage review. In these cases, clinical
criteria based on current medical information and appropriate use must
be met. Information must be provided before coverage is approved. You,
your doctor, or your local pharmacist may call 1 800 753-2851 toll-free
to initiate a coverage review. When you use the Medco Pharmacy,
Medco will call your doctor to start the coverage review process. The
review uses plan rules based on FDA-approved prescribing and safety
information, clinical guidelines, and uses that are considered reason-
able, safe, and effective. Members with questions pertaining to a pre-
scription drug cover age review should contact Medco Member Services at
1 800 355-8279 for more information. The following drugs currently
