most conditions. This list is sometimes
6
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:19,000
called your drug formulary.
7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,600

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,700
prescribe an effective medication. That's also covered by your
9
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:27,700

If your doctor still prescribes a medication that isn't covered by your plan,
16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,400

17
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,700

20
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:09,700
the medication may be unsafe when combined, with other
21
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:10,500
medications you're taking
22
00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:13,400
Used only for certain health conditions.
23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,800
Have the potential for misuse or abuse?
24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,400
Or an effective alternative might be available.
25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,200
If your medication does require a prior authorization,
26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,900
you should speak with your doctor to see if an alternative
27
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:30,900
is available, if not, then you or
28
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:33,900
your pharmacist can ask your doctor to start a prior
29
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:33,900
authorization.
30
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,800

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,000

33
00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:48,000

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,900
you'll receive a letter and then you can ask
36
