Express Script Services
- The National Preferred Formulary (A list of medications covered under your pharmacy plan) provides you and your prescriber with a guide to help you choose the most clinically appropriate and cost-effective medications available. It is recommended that you and your prescriber refer to the Formulary in determining which medication may be best for you.
- As medications change or new medications become available, the National Formulary
gets updated on a quarterly basis. This means that medications may be added, removed
or may change tier levels, potentially causing a disruption to their cost or availability.
If you are affected by a formulary change, you will be notified in advance by Express
Scripts, and encouraged to have a conversation with your prescriber.
