Member guide to commonly prescribed medications on the Enhanced Formulary
This guide lists common brand name and generic prescription drugs that have been reviewed by Blue Cross and
Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC). Please refer to this formulary benefit guide for information about the
availability of frequently prescribed medications covered by BCBSNC’s Enhanced Formulary and present this
guide to your doctor if you or another covered family member requires a prescription. This guide is not meant to
be comprehensive but to provide a list of the most commonly prescribed drugs.
This guide was current at the time of printing and is subject to change. If you are unable to find a particular
drug in this guide, it does not necessarily mean that it is not covered. For a more complete listing of drug
coverage and costs, you may use our Prescription Drug Search at bcbsnc.com. You may also call BCBSNC
Customer Service at the number listed on your ID card to confirm a drug’s tier status or verify prescription
drug benefits.
A formulary is a list of prescription drugs recommended by a health plan. BCBSNC Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T)
Committee reviews medications listed on the formulary at least quarterly. This includes ongoing reviews of clinical
information about new drugs and reviews of new safety and efficacy information about older drugs. The majority of
BCBSNC’s P&T Committee is composed of practicing physicians and pharmacists independent of BCBSNC.
Please refer to your benefit booklet for detailed information regarding your pharmacy benefits, including your tiered
benefit structure, out-of-pocket costs and applicable exclusions.
Enhanced Formulary tiers
The 3-Tier and 4-Tier Formularies cover most medications approved by the United States Food & Drug
Administration (FDA), within existing benefits. The plan design determines the member’s payment obligation.
Some members have a two-tiered benefit structure (Tier 1 and Tier 2), some members have a three-tiered benefit
structure (Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3), and some members have a four-tiered benefit structure (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3,
and Tier 4) depending on the plan in which they are enrolled.
Note: Drugs listed as covered on Tier 1 are generics only. Listed brand names for Tier 1 drugs are for reference
only. Brands for which generic equivalents are available are covered on Tier 3 unless indicated otherwise.
4-Tier Formulary
Here are the definitions of each tier for a four-tiered benefit structure:
I

Tier 1: Generic medications. Medications listed in Tier 1 have the lowest co-payment.

Tier 2: Includes select brand-name drugs recommended by the BCBSNC P&T Committee as preferred
brand-name products based on safety, efficacy, and cost. Medications listed in Tier 2 have the
second-lowest co-payment.

Tier 3: Contains 1) brand-name products that, as recommended by the P&T Committee, usually have
preferred and often less costly therapeutic alternatives at a lower tier, 2) brands with therapeutically
equivalent generics, 3) new non-specialty drugs not yet reviewed by the P&T Committee, and 4) preferred
specialty brand-name drugs. Medications listed in Tier 3 have the second-highest co-payment.

Tier 4: Most specialty drugs: Those medications, as classified by the P&T Committee, that generally have
unique uses, require special dosing or administration, are typically prescribed by a specialist provider and
are significantly more costly than alternative drugs or therapies. Medications listed in Tier 4 generally
have the highest co-payment or co-insurance amount.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC) October 2015 Enhanced 4 Tier Formulary
3-Tier Formulary
Definitions for a three-tiered benefit structure:

Tier 1: Generic medications. Medications listed in Tier 1 have the lowest co-payment.

Tier 2: Includes select brand-name drugs determined by the BCBSNC P&T Committee to be
preferred products based on safety, efficacy, and cost. Medications listed in Tier 2 have the
second-lowest co-payment.

Tier 3: Contains brand-name products that often have preferred and less costly therapeutic
alternatives at a lower tier, brands with therapeutically equivalent generics, and certain specialty
drugs. Medications listed in Tier 3 have the highest co-payment.
2-Tier Formulary
For a two-tiered benefit structure, the following definitions apply:

Tier 1: Generic medications. Medications listed in Tier 1 have a lower co-payment.

Tier 2: Includes all brand-name products.

For BCBSNC members participating in the 2-Tier Formulary, there is no distinction or preference
between Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4 drugs.
Generic drugs
In most cases choosing a generic drug equivalent, when available, will mean significant savings to you.
We encourage you to discuss with your physician whether a generic alternative is available as these drugs
represent safe, effective treatment options. Especially for drugs that are taken daily and refilled frequently, you will
experience the long-term savings of a lower drug co-payment month after month. For some benefit plans, if you
choose a brand name prescription drug and a generic equivalent is available, you may be subject to a reduced
benefit and a higher out-of-pocket expense.
Compounded prescriptions
Compounded prescriptions contain two or more drugs mixed together. Compounded prescriptions are processed
according to member benefits. To be eligible for coverage, compounded medications must contain at least one
FDA-approved prescription ingredient and must not be a copy of a commercially available product. Compounded
medications may be subject to prior review.
Prior review, quantity limitations and restricted-access drugs
Under some benefit plans, certain medications may be subject to prior review, quantity limitations, or restrictedaccess programs. BCBSNC’s P&T Committee reviews the clinical criteria for these programs.

Drugs that have prior review requirements must be reviewed by BCBSNC before coverage can be
authorized.

Certain medications may also have limitations on the quantity and days’ supply coverage. Quantities in
excess of the coverage limit must be reviewed and approved by BCBSNC before coverage can be
authorized for amounts in excess of the limits.

For coverage of restricted-access drugs, BCBSNC requires that the member has tried a preferred drug
first. Coverage for restricted-access drugs may be provided without the use of a preferred drug if the
provider certifies in writing that the member has previously used a preferred drug and the preferred drug
has been detrimental to the member's health or has been ineffective in treating the same condition and,
in the opinion of the provider, is likely to be detrimental to the member's health or ineffective in treating
the condition in the future.

II
The FDA is responsible for approving medications for use based on clinical data proving the medication is safe and
effective for that specific use. BCBSNC’s prior review and quantity limitations programs follow FDA-approved uses for
these drugs. However, BCBSNC recognizes that in many cases, “off-label” (non-FDA approved) uses of prescription
drugs may be acceptable. In determining the acceptability of off-label uses, BCBSNC utilizes several sources of
clinical information including but not limited to 1) nationally recognized clinical references including American Hospital
Formulary Service Drug Information; 2) the results of at least two randomized controlled clinical studies that support a
specific off-label use, and that are published in peer-reviewed professional medical journals; and 3) consultations with
internal and external physician experts regarding community standards. Additional searches for current supporting
medical literature may be performed utilizing standard electronic databases.
Specialty drugs
These medications, as classified by BCBSNC, generally have unique uses, require special dosing or administration,
are typically prescribed by a specialist provider and are significantly more costly than alternative drugs or therapies.
Most specialty drugs can be found on Tier 4, but there are some specialty drugs that are on Tiers 1, 2 and 3.
Some of these specialty drugs will need to be filled at a participating specialty pharmacy in our network. These drugs
are identified in the specialty column of the formulary guide. Call the customer service number on the back of your
BCBSNC ID card to determine which pharmacy can fill your specialty drug prescription.
Using the member guide to the Enhanced Formulary
The Medication List is organized into broad categories (e.g., ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS). The graphic below shows
the information that is provided in each column of the medication list and is an example only. Please use the drug
search function to find current information for drugs on the medication list.
The first column of the chart lists the medication name. Generic medications are listed in lowercase boldface .
Brand name medications are capitalized.
Separate medication entries are required for some dosage forms such as extended-release and
delayed-release.
The second column indicates the Tier level.
The third column indicates if the medication is a Specialty medication and needs to be filled at a participating
specialty pharmacy in our network.
The remaining columns indicate the Pharmacy Program(s) that apply to the prescription medication
(e.g., Prior Review, Restricted Access and Quantity Limitations). If an indicator is present in the column(s),
then the Pharmacy Program applies.
