What is the difference between formulary & non- formulary?
Non-formulary medications are dependent on your health insurance. Contact them for information of formulary and non-formulary medications
Yes.
No, there is no hyphen between "non" and "fiction" in the word "nonfiction." The term is typically written as one word.
A formulary is a list of prescription drugs that are covered under a health insurance plan. A "non formulary brand name" is a brand name drug that is not in the formulary and may have different cost involved since it is not covered under the plan.
A formulary is a list of preferred medications that a committee of pharmacists and doctors deems to be the safest, most effective and most economical. Non-formulary medications have the highest copayments. If no generic alternative is available, talk with your doctor about choosing and prescribing the absolute best medication for YOU!
Non-breaking hyphen
A formulary is a listing of prescription drugs that a health plan covers, and as such, drugs that are on the formulary vary with the health plan. You would have to consult with the health plan to determine whether this drug is on it. Note that sometimes a generic version is on the formulary, but not the brand version, or vice versa.
non breaking hyphen
No they do not, it is Non-Formulary, thus excluded.
The word can either be spelt nonexclusive (without a hyphen) or non-exclusive (with a hyphen).
If you look at the chemical properties of the drugs, there is no difference. If you consider whether your insurance company is going to "cover" the drugs, you need to select a "Formulary Drug." Insurance companies, HMO's, PPO's will cover certain medications...and you can get a list of the drugs that your plan covers...this list is your plan's "formulary." If you are taking a maintenance medication...it is important to "try" and make sure the plan you choose has your medication on their formulary. Sad fact, even when you think you are sitting pretty...got all the bases covered, companies have been known to change their formulary "mid-stream." Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois changed their policy in the middle of the year where they covered only selected brand name drugs, but still covered all generics. All the companies do surprising things that almost always benefit the companies and not the members who are paying for the policies. This is a huge pet peeve for all Americans at the moment or will be whenever they face it... and have to deal with this "transparent as cement" evil.
