The SCAN formulary is a continually updated list of prescription medications covered by SCAN Health Plan. The SCAN Formulary is developed by the SCAN Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee to ensure that included drugs are safe, effective, FDA approved and appropriate. The committee is comprised of physicians and pharmacists, many of whom have clinical expertise in geriatrics. The formulary contains both brand and generic drugs.

SCAN Health Plan covers both brand name drugs and generic drugs. Generic drugs have the same active ingredient formula as a brand name drug. Generic drugs usually cost less than brand name drugs and are rated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be as safe and effective as brand name drugs.

The Medicare program allows us to make changes in our prescription drug formulary list at any time during the calendar year. As previously explained, the formulary is a list of drugs. A change in our drug formulary could affect which drugs are covered, the members co pay and the limit on usage.
