Prescription Drug Information

Medicare "Part D" Prescription Drug Formulary

A drug formulary is a list of both generic and brand name prescription drugs that are covered by your prescription drug benefit. The formulary is actively managed and updated through Wellcare By Fidelis Care's Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, qualified pharmacists and doctors whose primary focus is offering safe, high-quality and cost-effective drugs. New drugs are added to the formulary periodically based on the latest medical research and some drugs may be removed periodically based on the findings and recommendations of the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee.

Cost-Savings Options

You may be able to spend less each month on your prescription drugs. Here are three ways to save:

  1. If you're not taking a preferred drug, talk to your provider about switching to one that’s on our Formulary. Your doctor can reference the formulary when recommending prescription drugs as part of your health care plan.
  2. If you’re on any brand name drugs, switching to generic when available will likely reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Check our Formulary, or use our Formulary Search tool to find generic alternatives. 
  3. Switch to mail order fill. You can get up to a 100-day supply that often costs less than three 30-day supplies at a retail pharmacy. Plus, home delivery is at no extra cost!   Learn about our Mail Order Pharmacy Program

    Formulary Exceptions
    If a drug is not covered in the way you would like it to be covered, you can ask us to make an “exception.” An exception is a type of coverage decision. Similar to other types of coverage decisions, if we turn down your request for an exception, you can appeal our decision. Asking for coverage of a drug that is not on the Prescription Drug Formulary, also called the Drug List, is sometimes called asking for a “formulary exception.” When you ask for an exception, your doctor or other prescriber will need to explain the medical reasons why you need the exception approved. The information can be submitted by phone, fax, mail or electronically. We will then consider your request.
    Drug Tiers
    The price of a drug is determined by what “tier” it is on within your formulary. A generic drug may appear on a “preferred tier,” while a brand-name drug may appear on a “non-preferred tier.” Medicine listed on a non-preferred tier may be more expensive than those on a preferred tier. You can reduce how much you pay for prescription drugs by using preferred tier drug. You should talk to your primary care physician about preferred tier options available to you.

    Generic Substitution
    If Wellcare By Fidelis Care receives a prior authorization or exception request, the medication requested will be generically substituted when an authorized, AB rated equivalent generic is available, unless the request specifically indicates that the brand name is being requested (e.g. Dispense as Written, brand only, etc.), rejections in prescription claims history are for brand, or supporting documentation indicates brand is being prescribed or why generic is not an appropriate treatment option.
    Formulary Transition Policy
    When you have a drug that is not on our formulary, or if your ability to get the drug is limited, we will cover a temporary supply of the drug until you can switch to a drug we cover or you can request a formulary exception.
