Welcome

The U-M Prescription Drug Plan formulary is an extensive list of generic and brand name drugs that are self-administered in an outpatient setting and covered by the plan. U-M Prescription Drug Plan members and prescribers may search for specific medications to determine coverage by the plan. Decisions regarding inclusion or exclusion of drugs on the formulary are made by a committee of U-M physicians and pharmacists after evidence-based review of clinical literature and other determining factors.

What is a Formulary?

A formulary is a list of covered drugs which represents the prescription therapies believed to be a necessary part of a quality treatment program. We will generally cover the drugs listed in our formulary as long as the drug is medically necessary, the prescription is filled at a network pharmacy, and other plan rules are followed. For more information on how to fill your prescriptions, please review your Evidence of Coverage.

How to Search For Drugs
