Formulary

A formulary is a list of generic and brand name prescription drugs covered under your health plan. Providence Health Plan is pleased to provide plan members with a comprehensive prescription drug formulary designed to promote safe, effective and affordable drug therapy.

On the formulary, drugs are categorized into tiers. Drugs in the lowest tier cost the least, while drugs in higher tiers like specialty medications cost more. All the drugs in our formulary are approved based on safety, quality, and cost-effectiveness.

Your formulary: 

• Is easy to search
• Includes information about the medication
• Includes special considerations about the prescription, if they apply
