to existing members: This formulary has changed since last year. Please use our
search tool to make sure that it still contains the drugs you take. While
the formulary may change throughout the year, in general, if you are taking a
drug on our formulary that was covered at the beginning of the year, we will
not discontinue or reduce coverage of the drug during the year. If we
remove a drug from our formulary, add any restrictions, or move a drug to a
higher cost-sharing tier, we must notify affected members of the change at
least 60 days before the change becomes effective.

Health Plan Medicare Preferred covers both brand name drugs and generic drugs.

the brand name drug. Generally, generic drugs cost less than brand name drugs.
