Pharmacy Changes Effective April 1, 2010
As the State Health Plan strives to maintain an affordable pharmacy benefit for members and to provide access to high quality, effective medication options, several changes to the pharmacy benefit will be implemented beginning April 1, 2010. The changes include two new step therapy programs and several medication copay changes to promote the use of generic and preferred medications. These program changes apply to Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB) medications and Forteo®, an injectable osteoporosis medication.
