The formulary is a list of drugs that Citizens Choice Healthplan HMO will pay for during the covered benefit year. The Medicare program allows us to make the changes in our prescription drug formulary list at any time during the calendar year. A change in our drug formulary could affect which drugs are covered, the members copayment, and the limit on usage. If you have any questions about the formulary, please contact Member Services at 1-866-634-CCHP (2247) or TTY/TDD 1-866-516-9366. Our formulary was developed by CVS Caremark's Therapeutics Committee to ensure that included drugs are safe, effective, FDA approved and appropriate. This committee is comprised of physicians and pharmacists.

Citizens Choice Healthplan HMO 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.

All formulary drugs on Tier 1 are covered in the Coverage Gap of your Part D benefits. Use this search function to determine if a medication is covered under the Citizens Choice Healthplan HMO pharmacy benefit.
