If I am taking a Tier 3 medication, is there a lower cost alternative on Tier 1 or Tier 2?
There could be. Serve You provides a list of potential alternatives to Tier 3 medications under our web page, Formulary. You may also look research alternatives available through your specific plan through Member Portal. However, it is recommended that you talk with your physician about alternative medications.
There could be. On the formulary document, Tier 1 and Tier 2 drugs are organized by medical condition. Those drugs that begin with a lowercase letter are Tier 1 generic drugs and the drugs that begin with an uppercase letter are Tier 2 preferred brand drugs. Preferred alternatives may also be researched through the Member Portal. The best way to determine the drug that is right for you is to bring a copy of the formulary to your next physician appointment.
