Performance Formulary

Performance Formulary
Introduction
Utilization Management
The Envision Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee is
responsible for the development and maintenance of the
Performance Formulary. The Committee is comprised of
independent practicing physicians and pharmacists from a
wide variety of medical specialties. The Performance
Formulary is reviewed and updated from time to time as
new drugs or new prescribing information becomes
available. Factors which affect decisions regarding the
Performance Formulary include safe use, clinical efficacy,
and therapeutic need. Only after those factors are
assessed is cost considered. Compliance with the
Performance Formulary is important for improving quality
of care and restraining health care costs.
The Performance Formulary features a set of Utilization
Management protocols for certain drug categories. Within
these drug categories, there are clinically interchangeable
alternatives available with significant deviations in
economic value. In order to maintain the highest quality
care, Envision has selected the most clinically and
economically valuable agents in each class to be included
on the Performance Formulary. Please see the Utilization
Management section of the Performance Formulary to
reference the preferred agents within each drug category.
Certain agents within these categories may be considered
benefit exclusions, or may require the use of primary
treatment options prior to secondary treatment options.
How to Use the Performance Formulary
Prior Authorizations and Quantity Limits may be in place
for certain medications and will vary by plan. The
EnvisionRxOptions Performance Formulary is not all
inclusive and does not guarantee coverage of any
medication.
The Envision Performance Formulary is a reference tool for
identifying preferred medications within certain therapeutic
categories. Preferred brand medications are listed to help
identify products that are clinically appropriate and cost
effective. Generics within therapeutic categories are listed
for reference purposes.
•
Generics are listed in lowercase letters.
•
Brands are listed in UPPERCASE letters.
•
Non-Preferred products are listed with an [NP] symbol.
•
Specialty products are listed with an [SP] symbol.
New-to-Market Drugs
Any medication approved to enter the market will not be
covered under the Performance Formulary until a clinical
review and tier placement decision has been made by the
Envision Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee. The
committee will review safety, efficacy and cost information
in order to determine coverage on a quarterly basis at
minimum. Please be aware that any new-to-market drug
which has not yet been reviewed by the Envision
Pharmacy and Therapeutics committee will be considered
an exclusion under your benefit plan.
