The formulary is the list of medications chosen by a committee of doctors and pharmacists to help you maximize the value of your prescription benefit. These generic and brand-name medications are available at a lower cost. The use of non-preferred drugs will result in a higher copay. Sharing the formulary with your doctor helps ensure you get the best value, saving money for you and the State of Arizona.

Changes to the formulary can occur during the Plan Year every quarter. Medications that no longer offer the best therapeutic value for the Plan are removed from the formulary. When your prescription is filled, ask your pharmacist to verify the current cost or copay amount. Members can log into the MedImpact Pharmacy website for complete formulary information.

Some drugs may have additional requirements or limits on coverage. These requirements may include the following:

  • Prior Authorization - Prescriptions for certain medications may require clinical approval before they can be filled, even with a valid prescription. These prescriptions may be limited to quantity, frequency, and dosage or have age restrictions. You, your local pharmacy, or your physician may initiate the authorization process by contacting MedImpact.  Learn more about Prior Authorization, including processing times, in this flyer. 
  • Step Therapy Program promotes safe, cost-effective, and clinically appropriate medications. This requirement encourages you to try less costly but just as effective drugs before the Plan covers another drug. For example, if Drug A and Drug B treat the same medical condition, the Plan may require you to try Drug A first. If Drug A does not work for you, the Plan will cover Drug B. This requirement to try a different drug first is called “step therapy.” Learn more about Step Therapy in this flyer.
  • Quantity Limits - For certain drugs, there are limits on the amount of the drug that will be covered.
  • Coordination of Benefits - Benefit Options does not coordinate pharmacy benefits.
  • Out-of-Network & International - The cost of prescriptions filled out-of-Network will not be reimbursed. No international pharmacy services are covered. Fill prescriptions before your trip and take your prescriptions with —no coverage for a medication that is lost, stolen, or damaged.
