Pharmacy Programs

We use a number of pharmacy programs to promote the safe and appropriate use of prescription drugs. All drugs that belong to a program have clinical guidelines (like current health condition) that must be met before the Plan will cover it. Drugs that belong to a pharmacy program are indicated on the BMC HealthNet Plan Formulary.
