The plan may require you to first try one drug to treat your condition before it will cover another drug for that condition. |
Some drugs have quantity limits. |
Your provider must get prior authorization from Easy Choice Plus Plan (HMO) for certain drugs. |
The plan will pay for certain over-the-counter drugs as part of its utilization management program. Some over-the-counter drugs are less expensive than prescription drugs and work just as well. Contact the plan for details. |

These drugs are listed on the plan's website formulary printed materials as well as on the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder on Medicare.gov. |
If the actual cost of a drug is less than the normal cost-sharing amount for that drug you will pay the actual cost not the higher cost-sharing amount. |
If you request a formulary exception for a drug and Easy Choice Plus Plan (HMO) approves the exception you will pay Tier 5: Specialty Tier Drugs cost sharing for that drug. |
