Requesting an exception
If you believe your drug does not need these additional restrictions or limits, you can ask us to make an exception to our coverage rules. See the section, "How do I request an exception to the formulary" described within the plan formulary for more information.
Keeping you safe: reviewing prescriptions
We review your prescription drugs make sure you are getting safe and appropriate care. These reviews are especially important for our members who have multiple doctors who prescribe their medications.
We review your drugs each time you fill a prescription and on a regular basis by reviewing our records. During these reviews, we look for possible medication errors:
- Duplicate drugs that are unnecessary because you are taking another drug to treat the same medical condition
- Drugs that are inappropriate because of your age or gender
- Possible harmful interactions between drugs you are taking
- Drug allergies
- Dosage errors
If we identify a medication problem during our drug utilization review, we will work with your doctor to correct the problem. For more information, please view the Security Health Plan quality assurance statement.
