2013 Small Group Formulary Summary
This is a list of the most commonly prescribed preferred drugs for members of small group (if your employer has 50 or less employees eligible for health benefits) plans with prescription drug coverage. Make sure to ask your doctor to prescribe generic drugs whenever appropriate; this may lower your out-of-pocket expenses. NOTE: Not all drugs listed are covered by all pharmacy benefit programs, so coverage is not guaranteed. Check your benefit materials for the copay and any other responsibilities you may have under your pharmacy benefit. For additional questions about your prescription drug coverage, please call the phone number on the back of your ID card.
