Drug Pricing
Catalyst Preferred National List is a prescription drug categorization model that utilizes generics as the first line of prescribing and the list provides the preferred brand-name medicines that are both clinically appropriate and cost effective for the plan. Brands not appearing on the list are in the highest copay tier.
Brand Dispensing Policies
Clients utilizing the Catalyst network may select from the following three policies regarding brand drug dispensing:
- Most Restrictive for Member – the member will pay the difference between the maximum allowable coverage price for the generic and the plan average wholesale price for the brand (in addition to the calculated copay) whether the member or physician is requesting the brand.
- Less Restrictive for Member - the member will pay the difference between the maximum allowable coverage price for the generic and plan average wholesale price for the brand (in addition to the calculated copay) only when the member requests brand. The client sponsor will pay the difference if the doctor requires the brand.
- No Restrictions for Member – Client sponsor will pay the difference no matter who requests the brand. If the physician or member requests the brand name drug, the member will only pay the brand copay.
