Prescription Drug Benefit for 2012
The Scott & White Health Plan uses a formulary (a list of drugs,) that has been selected by a committee of Scott & White Physicians and Pharmacists. These medications are selected based on research that shows their safety and effectiveness. Since there can be many different brands of similar prescription medicines, the formulary is used to select the medication that proves to be most effective in treating an illness.
