Coverage Criteria Summary
Some drug classes are not covered under standard pharmacy benefits unless the member adds a specific additional benefit rider. Examples called out in the formulary include fertility, birth control, impotency, and weight loss therapies; coverage depends on whether the applicable rider has been purchased for the member's plan.
