The Solution Rating System
|
||
With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.
Your Input Matters If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

<h3>Brand-Name and Generic Drugs</h3>
<p>Blue Rx plans cover both Brand-Name and Generic drugs. Generic drugs:</p>
<ul>
<li>>Usually cost less than Brand-Name drugs</li>
<li>Have the same active-ingredient formula as Brand-Name drugs</li>
<li>Are rated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be as safe and effective as Brand-Name drugs.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Changes to the Formulary</h3>
<p>The formulary may change each month. There are many reasons why the formulary can change, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Generic drugs may become available</li>
<li>New drugs could be developed</li>
<li>A drug is no longer manufactured</li>
<li>The Food and Drug Administration deems a drug to be unsafe</li>
</ul>
<h3>Requesting Exceptions to the Formulary</h3>
<p>For information about requesting exceptions to our formulary, see our <a href="http://www.medi-carefirst.com/mcf/needinsurance/AppealsAndExceptions.html" title="Appeals and Exceptions"

Once you are a member, you will be told 60 days ahead of time about changes in the formulary that affect you. You can also learn about changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>In the Drug Detail Section of the Drug Search results</li>
<li>In the Web site's News section</li>
<li>And in the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) that is mailed to members monthly.</li>
