CVS/Caremark Prescription Changes

To help keep prescription copays low, CVS/Caremark updates its Standard Formulary (the “Covered Drug List”) quarterly. This formulary emphasizes clinically effective, lower-cost alternatives to high-cost medications. Additionally, the state contracts with TruDataRx to analyze claims data using Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) based algorithms to identify formulary opportunities for clinical improvement and cost savings.  

When a plan member has one or more prescriptions affected by medication coverage changes, they receive a letter from CVS/Caremark. These letters include information on therapeutically equivalent drugs, the effective date and any associated copayment change information. The patient’s prescriber on file will receive a similar notification.
