Tier (coverage/cost level) gives you an idea of the cost level you may pay for a medication

This drug list includes the most commonly prescribed medications as of July 1, 2017.1 These generic and brand name prescription medications are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Medications are listed by the condition they treat, then listed alphabetically within tiers, or coverage/cost levels.

Please note that this drug list is not a complete list of covered medications, and not all of the medications listed here may be covered under your specific plan.

Here’s more helpful information on how to read this drug list:

Tiers

Medications are divided into tiers, or coverage/cost levels. The tier the medication is listed in determines how much you’ll pay when you fill the prescription. Typically, the higher the tier, the greater the cost of the medication.

Abbreviations next to medications

Certain medications may require approval to be covered under your plan. These medications will have an abbreviation listed next to them in the drug list. Here’s what each of these abbreviations mean.

› Tier 1 – Typically Generics (Lower-cost medication) $

› Tier 2 – Typically Preferred Brands (Medium-cost medication) $$

(PA) Prior Authorization – Your doctor has to provide Cigna with information about why you need to use this medication. The medication will only be covered if your doctor requests and receives approval from Cigna.

(ST) Step Therapy – Certain brand name medications are part of our Step Therapy program. In Step Therapy, you need to try the most cost-effective, appropriate medications available before your plan approves more expensive brand name medications. Typically, these are generics or lower-cost brands.

(QL) Quantity Limits – You can only get coverage for this medication for a certain number of doses over a certain number of days. For example, 30mg per day for 30 days.

(AGE) Age Requirements – You must be within a specific age range for this medication to be covered.

Brand name medications are capitalized

In this drug list, brand name medications are capitalized and generic medications begin with a lowercase letter.

Specialty medications are marked with an asterisk

Specialty medications are used to treat complex conditions like multiple sclerosis, hepatitis C and rheumatoid arthritis. In this drug list, specialty medications are marked with an asterisk (*). Some plans may cover these medications on a specialty tier and/or require the use of a preferred specialty pharmacy. To find out how your plan covers these medications, please check your Summary Plan Description or log into myCigna.com.

5

No cost-share preventive medications are marked with a plus sign

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires that most plans cover certain categories of medications and other products as preventive care services. In this drug list, medications with a plus sign (+) next to them may be available to you at no cost-share (copay, coinsurance and/or deductible) depending on your plan. To find out how your plan covers these medications, please check your Summary Plan Description or view your plan’s drug list on myCigna.com.

Plan exclusions

Some medications shown in this drug list may not be covered by your specific plan. For example, medications used for weight loss or to treat infertility may not be covered. In this drug list, these medications have a carat (^) next to them. To find out if these medications are covered under your plan, please check your Summary Plan Description or log into myCigna.com.

Prescription drug list FAQs

We want to make sure you understand your prescription drug coverage and are getting the most out of your pharmacy benefit. Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the prescription drug list.

Why do you make changes to the drug list?

Cigna regularly reviews and updates the prescription drug list. We make changes to the list of covered medications as new medications become available or are removed from the market and/or we identify medications as the preferred treatment option for a certain condition. These changes may include:1

› Moving a medication to a lower cost tier. This can happen at any time during the year.

› Moving a medication to a higher cost tier when a generic becomes available. This can happen at any time during the year.

› Moving a medication to a higher cost tier or no longer covering a medication. This typically happens twice per year on January 1st and July 1st.

› Adding requirements to a medication. For example, requiring approval from Cigna before a medication is covered or adding a quantity limit or age restriction to a medication.

Please note that when a medication changes tiers or is no longer covered, you may have to pay a different amount for that medication.

Why are some medication not allowed on my drug list?

Some high-cost medications have clinically appropriate alternatives. Meaning, they work the same or similar to another covered prescription medication or over-the-counter (available without a prescription) alternative. To help lower your overall health care costs, these high-cost medications are not covered. If your doctor feels an alternative medication isn’t right for you, he or she can ask Cigna to consider approving coverage of your medication.

We also do not cover medications that are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

How do you decide what medications are covered?

The Cigna Prescription Drug List is developed in cooperation with Cigna’s Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, a panel of practicing doctors and pharmacists, most of whom work outside of Cigna. Every medication available on the drug list has been approved by the FDA. The Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee uses medical resources and references on the safety and efficacy of prescription medications, and doesn’t consider finances. The committee’s findings are based on clinical evidence and are shared with a separate business decision team. The business team reviews their findings and other factors when deciding the placement of the medication on the drug list. Our goal is to provide access to safe and effective medications at the lowest possible cost.

What medications are covered under the health care reform law?

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as “health care reform,” was signed into law on March 23, 2010. Under this law, certain preventive medications (including some over-the-counter medications) may be available to you at no cost-share ($0), depending on your plan. To find out how your plan covers these medications, please check your Summary Plan Description or view your plan’s drug list on myCigna.com. You can also view the list of these preventive medications on Cigna.com/druglist.

For more information about health care reform, visit www.informedonreform.com or Cigna.com and look for the Preventive Services section within the “Informed on Reform” link.

Are medications that are newly approved by the FDA covered on my drug list?

Any new medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that are available in the marketplace may not be covered for the first six months after they receive FDA approval. These include, but are not limited to, medications, medical supplies or devices that

21

are covered under standard pharmacy benefit plans. Once a medication is approved by the FDA, we do a thorough review to decide if it’s appropriate to cover the medication and at what tier level it should be covered. If your doctor feels a currently covered medication isn’t right for you, he or she can ask Cigna to consider approving coverage of the new FDA-approved medication.

How can I find out how much I’ll pay for a specific medication?

Use the Drug Cost tool on myCigna.com to price a medication and see the lower-cost options available to you at your local retail pharmacy and Cigna Home Delivery PharmacySM.2

Simply log in to myCigna.com and select Estimate Health Care Costs, then select Get drug costs.

How can I save money on my prescription medications?

You may be able to save money by switching to a lower-cost medication. Talk with your doctor to see if a medication in a lower-cost tier may work for you.

What’s the difference between brand name and generic medications?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires generic medications to have the same quality and performance as brand name medications. So, a generic medication is the same as a brand name medication in dosage form, active ingredient, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use. Generics typically cost much less than brand name medications – in some cases, up to 80%–85% less.3 Just because generics cost less than brands, it doesn’t mean they’re lower-quality medications.

How can I get help with my specialty medication?

Cigna Specialty Pharmacy Services can help you manage your health and prescription needs.2 Our therapy management teams, made up of health advocates with nursing backgrounds and pharmacists are here to provide you with

personalized, 24/7 support. They provide condition-specific education on medication therapy and side effects, help manage the approval process and offer financial assistance programs if you need help paying for your specialty medication.

In addition to the plan’s standard pharmacy exclusions, certain new FDA-approved drug products (including, but not limited to, medications, medical supplies or devices that are covered under standard pharmacy benefit plans) may not be covered for the first six months of market availability unless authorized by Cigna as medically necessary.

Health benefit plans vary, but in general to be eligible for coverage a drug must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), prescribed by a health care professional, purchased from a licensed pharmacy and be medically necessary. If your plan provides coverage for certain preventive prescription drugs with no cost-share, you may be required to use an in-network pharmacy to fill the prescription. If you use a pharmacy that does not participate in your plan’s network, the prescription may not be covered. Certain drugs may require prior authorization, or be subject to step therapy, quantity limits or other utilization management requirements.

Plans generally do not provide coverage for the following under the pharmacy benefit, except as required by state or federal law, or by the terms of your specific plan:4
