Pharmacy Services
The management of outpatient prescription drugs is an integral part of the Medical Management program to improve the health and well-being of our members.
Prescriber and member involvement is critical to the success of the pharmacy program. To help your patient get the most out of their pharmacy benefit please be cognizant of the following guidelines when prescribing:
- Follow national standards of care for treating conditions i.e., NIH Asthma guideline, JNC VII Hypertension guidelines;
- Prescribe drugs from the Preferred Drug List (PDL);
- Prescribe generic drugs when therapeutic equivalent drugs are available;
- Evaluate medication profile for appropriateness and duplication of therapy.
