Generic medications have been determined by physicians and pharmacists to be therapeutically equivalent to their brand name alternative. Generic
drugs must contain the same active ingredients as their brand name counterpart and be identical in strength, dosage form and route of administration.
Preferred Brand means brand name drugs that have been reviewed by ODS and found to be clinically effective at a favorable cost- when compared to
other medications in the same therapeutic class. A preferred drug chart can be accessed online http://www.odscompanies.com/members/,
through your myODS account This list is subject to change and will periodically be updated. If you should have any questions regarding the list,
please do not hesitate to contact pharmacy customer service.
Non Preferred Brand means brand drugs that have been reviewed by ODS and in comparison do not have any significant therapeutic advantage over
their preferred brand alternative(s). Drugs that are usually not recommended as first line therapy and have alternative treatment modalities are also
considered non-preferred brand drugs.
Generic Substitution: Both generic and brand name medications are covered benefits. Regardless of the reason or medical necessity, if a member
requests a brand name drug or the treating physician prescribes a brand name drug when a generic equivalent is available, the member will be
responsible for the brand copay plus the difference in cost between the generic and brand name drug.
Specialty: Select specialty medications are subject to a 25% coinsurance or designated copay, whichever is greater. To access a list of specialty
