Introduction
We are pleased to provide the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network Custom
Formulary 2011 as a useful reference and educational tool for prescribers, pharmacists and members. Our
formulary is a regularly updated list of medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
and reviewed by the BCBSM and BCN Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee. The list represents the
clinical judgment of Michigan physicians, pharmacists and other experts in the diagnosis and treatment of
disease and the promotion of health. Medications are selected based on clinical effectiveness, safety and
opportunity for cost savings. The Custom Formulary will help in maintaining the quality of care for our
members and containing costs for our clients.
Physicians, pharmacists and members should regularly refer to the Custom Formulary for information
regarding drug coverage and therapeutic options for BCBSM and BCN members. Physicians are
encouraged to prescribe formulary medications whenever possible. The Custom Formulary is divided into
major therapeutic categories by chapter for easy use. Products approved for more than one therapeutic
indication may be included in more than one chapter. Within each chapter, drugs are identified according
to whether they are formulary preferred (Tier 1), formulary options (Tier 2) or nonformulary (Tier 3).
Formulary preferred (Tier 1): These drugs have a proven record of safety and effectiveness and offer the
best value for members. Because they are Tier 1, they require the lowest copayment, making them your
most cost-effective option for treatment. Most generic drugs are formulary preferred.
Formulary options (Tier 2): Our Tier 2 drugs also have a record of safety and effectiveness. However,
because more cost-effective therapies or generic alternatives to these drugs are usually available, most
Tier 2 drugs require a higher copayment.
Nonformulary (Tier 3): Nonformulary drugs are not on our list of approved drugs. These drugs may not
have a proven record for safety or their clinical value may not be as high as the drugs in Tier 1 and Tier 2.
Formulary alternatives are available. Depending on the drug coverage, the member may pay a higher
copayment or even the entire cost of these drugs.
BCBSM and BCN respect the judgment of the dispensing pharmacist. Pharmacists are expected to
contact the prescriber when presented with a prescription for a drug or dose that may not be appropriate
for a patient. We encourage pharmacists to also contact the prescriber, to suggest an alternative when a
BCBSM or BCN member’s prescription is written for a nonformulary drug.
Drug coverage
Coverage and applicable copayment amounts for drugs on the Custom Formulary are based on a
member’s drug plan. Not all drugs included in the Custom Formulary are necessarily covered by each
patient’s plan. Most BCN members do not have coverage for nonformulary drugs unless a BCN-affiliated
provider certifies that the prescription is medically necessary and BCN agrees. Similarly, BCBSM
members with a closed (managed) formulary option do not have coverage for nonformulary drugs.
Some BCBSM and BCN plans may require a different copayment amount or may not cover certain
lifestyle drugs. These may include weight-loss products, drugs for smoking cessation and drugs to treat
sexual dysfunction or infertility. BCN’s coverage for drugs used to treat infertility is based on the member’s
BCN medical plan. Coverage for contraceptives is based on the member’s BCBSM or BCN drug plan.
Some BCN drug plans do not include coverage for proton pump inhibitors.
Members should consult their prescription drug benefit packet or contact a Customer Service
representative to determine specific coverage.
Approved medications
In general, only FDA-approved prescription medications are eligible for coverage under a member’s policy.
When a drug is available in the identical strength and dosage in either a prescription or a nonprescription
Page 5
medication, the prescription medication is usually not covered. In these cases, prescribers should refer the
patient to the equivalent over-the-counter product. Certain OTC products, such as loratadine (Claritin®) are
covered for BCN members and for some BCBSM members with a prescription. Other exceptions are
identified in the Custom Formulary.
Certain medications may be excluded from a BCBSM and BCN member’s pharmacy benefits, but may be
covered under the medical benefits. Such medications include serums, vaccines and other medications
that are generally administered in a physician’s office under the supervision of appropriate health care
personnel and not normally dispensed to the patient for self-administration.
Prior authorization and step therapy

Prior authorization may be necessary for coverage of certain medications. In these cases, clinical criteria
must be met based on current medical information and approved by the BCBSM and BCN Pharmacy and
Therapeutics Committee, or other information must be provided before coverage is approved. Drugs
subject to step therapy may require previous treatment with one or more drugs on the formulary before
coverage is approved.
The Blue Care Network Quality Interchange Program (pages seven to 19) and the BCBSM Prior
Authorization and Step-Therapy Program (pages 20 to 31) provide a list of drugs that require prior
authorization or must meet step-therapy requirements prior to coverage. A description of the BCN quality
interchange program and the BCBSM prior authorization and step-therapy program are included in this
Custom Formulary. To view the most recent version, please go to
bcbsm.com/provider/pharmacy_services/index.shtml
For BCBSM members:

Members should consult their prescription drug benefit packet for information on how to obtain prior
authorization or call the Customer Service number on the back of their Blues member ID card for
additional information. Physicians can access the medication request forms on web-DENIS or contact the
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network Pharmacy Services Clinical Help Desk at 1-
800-437-3803 and select option 1 for more information and to request coverage.
For BCN members:

The physician or office designee can access the medication request forms through web-DENIS.
Alternatively, physicians can call the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network
Pharmacy Services Clinical Help Desk at 1-800-437-3803 and select option 2 to request prior
authorization or a benefit exception, depending on the type of request and the member’s drug benefit.
Urgent requests should be identified as such when calling. The form must be completed in its entirety and
returned to the Pharmacy Services Clinical Help Desk for review. The physician is notified of approved
requests, and the member’s claim will process accordingly. If the request is not approved, BCN provides
written notification to both the member and practitioner. The notification includes the reason for the denial
and an explanation of the appeal rights and the appeals process.
As part of our 2011 focus on efficient service, drugs are listed alphabetically within each tier. The Custom
Formulary is current at the time of publication (January and July) and is subject to change.

Blue Care Network
Quality Interchange Program
January 2011
The Blue Care Network Quality Interchange Program helps ensure that safe, high-quality cost-effective drug therapy is
prescribed prior to the use of more expensive agents that may not have proven value over current formulary medications.
This program makes use of drug utilization management tools including prior authorization and step therapy. If a drug requires
prior authorization, certain clinical criteria must be met, or other information must be provided, before coverage is approved.
Drugs subject to step therapy require previous treatment with one or more formulary agents prior to coverage. The criteria
for approval are based on current medical information and are approved by the BCBSM/BCN Pharmacy and Therapeutics
Committee.
Most BCN members do not have coverage for nonformulary drugs. Requests for these nonformulary drugs will only
be considered when the following criteria have been met:
• The member has tried and failed to respond to an adequate trial of the available formulary agents from the same drug
class, or the available formulary agents would pose unnecessary risk to the member.
• The member meets any clinical criteria established for the prescribed drug or drug class.
• The prescriber and BCN agree that it is medically necessary.
Authorization requests that do not include documentation of medical necessity and failure of formulary alternatives will be
denied.
Brand-name drugs that physicians prescribe or members request to be dispensed as written (DAW), but are available as
generics, are covered only when determined to be medically necessary by the physician and approved by BCN. The physician
must submit a completed MedWatch form to the FDA with a copy to BCN to document serious adverse events or a quality
issue with the covered generic. Information regarding the FDA MedWatch program and online forms are available at www.
accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch. If a DAW prescription is not authorized, BCN members are required to pay
the difference in cost between the brand-name and generic versions in addition to their usual brand-name copay amount.
Quantity limits may also apply to certain drugs. Please visit us online at MiBCN.com for more information.
This information applies to members with a BCN commercial drug benefit. Criteria for BCN AdvantageSM and BlueCaid®
members can be viewed on our Web site: MiBCN.com.

Prior Authorization and Step Therapy Program
January 2011
BCBSM monitors the use of certain medications to ensure our members receive the most appropriate and cost-effective drug
therapy. Prior authorization for these drugs means that certain clinical criteria must be met before coverage is provided. In the case
of drugs requiring step therapy, for example, previous treatment with one or more formulary drugs may be required. Drugs that must
meet clinical criteria are identified in the formulary list with (PA) or (ST). Your physician can contact our pharmacy help desk to
request prior authorization for these drugs.
The criteria for authorization are based on current medical information and the recommendations of the Blues’ Pharmacy and
Therapeutics Committee, a group of physicians, pharmacists and other experts. You may be required to pay the full cost of the drug if
your physician does not obtain prior authorization.
When your doctor prescribes a brand-name drug that’s nonformulary, requires prior authorization or is not covered under your drug
rider, it may not be a covered benefit. BCBSM reviews all physician and member requests to determine if the drug is medically
necessary and that there aren’t equally effective alternative drugs on the formulary.
Please call the Customer Service number on the back of your BCBSM ID card if you have questions about your drug coverage, a
drug claim or filing a benefit exception.

Possible brand alternatives
Some medications are produced by more than one pharmaceutical manufacturer, under different brand names.
In some cases, only one of the brand-name products is listed in the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and
Blue Care Network Custom Formulary 2011. The other brands are considered nonformulary. We encourage
prescribers to select the preferred product to help patients save out-of-pocket costs.

Generic drug substitution

Generic drug substitution is when a generic equivalent is dispensed rather than the brand-name product.
Products designated in the formulary with “(g)” after the name are available as generics approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration. BCN members are required to use generic substitution. For BCN members, if a
brand-name drug is requested when a generic version is available, members will pay their Tier 2 copayment
plus the difference in cost between the brand and generic versions. Prescribers may request authorization for
the brand-name version, based on medical necessity. A completed MedWatch form is required.
BCBSM members are encouraged to receive the generic equivalent, if available, or they may be required to
pay the difference in cost between the brand dispensed and the generic equivalent, in addition to the
applicable copay.
The maximum allowable cost list sets ceiling prices for reimbursement of certain generic prescription drugs.
The drugs on the MAC list are commonly prescribed and dispensed, and have undergone the FDA’s review
and approval process, which ensures:
o Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients and are the same strengths and dosage forms as
their brand-name counterparts.
o The FDA has given the generics an “A” rating and have determined they are the equivalent of their
brand-name counterparts. Or the BCBSM and BCN Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee has
reviewed the products and found them to be acceptable generic substitutes.
When the above two criteria are met, generics can be substituted with the full expectation that they will
produce the same clinical effects and have the same safety profiles as the prescribed brand-name products.
Possible therapeutic alternatives

The BCBSM-BCN Formulary Alternatives – January 2011 list represents possible options to nonformulary
drugs. These alternative medications can generally be prescribed without approval from BCBSM or BCN, and
can be dispensed with lesser copayments for members. Therapeutic alternatives may represent a different
drug class, contain different ingredients or may be available in different strengths or dosage forms than the
prescribed branded products. Pharmacists must obtain authorization from a patient’s physician to dispense an
alternative product.
Listed below are examples of the therapeutic alternatives a patient’s physician should consider when
determining appropriate treatment for the patient. The physician should consider individual drug product
characteristics and patient factors such as coexisting disease states, contraindications, therapeutic history,
concurrent medications and other relevant circumstances. This list is also available at
bcbsm.com/provider/pharmacy_services/index.shtml.

Dose Optimization and Quantity Limits
The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network dose optimization programs encourage
appropriate prescribing of medications intended for once-daily administration. Quantities of these
medications are limited to single daily doses of appropriate strengths. Michigan Blues pharmacists work
closely with physicians and community pharmacists to achieve this goal, which promotes patient
compliance and more cost-effective therapy. Examples of some drugs include certain cholesterol-lowering,
diabetes, antidepressant and antihypertensive medications.
Quantity limits also apply to both BCBSM and BCN for other medications, based on manufacturer
recommendations, available package size and other criteria. These drugs are identified with a Quantity
Limit (#) indicator. A complete list of medications subject to quantity limits is available at:
bcbsm.com/provider/pharmacy_services/index.shtml.
Copayments
A member’s benefit plan design determines applicable copayments for covered prescriptions.
