Covered medications
The formulary below is a listing of prescription drugs that are covered by NaviCare HMO SNP and NaviCare SCO. We will generally cover the drugs listed in our formulary as long as the drug is medically necessary, the prescription is filled at a network pharmacy and other plan rules are followed. The printed formulary was last updated on August 1, 2011. It is subject to change at any time.
Prior authorization and step therapy
Prior authorization Fallon Community Health Plan (FCHP) requires your physician to get prior authorization for certain drugs. This means that you will need to get approval from FCHP before you fill your prescriptions. If you don’t get approval, NaviCare may not cover the drug. If a drug requires a prior authorization, you'll see a "PA" next to the drug in the online drug formulary search. You can click on the "PA" symbol to see the prior authorization criteria for that medication.
Step therapy In some cases, FCHP requires you to first try certain drugs to treat your medical condition before we will cover another drug for that condition. For example, if Drug A and Drug B both treat your medical condition, NaviCare may not cover Drug B unless you try Drug A first. If Drug A does not work for you, NaviCare will then cover Drug B.
