New member transition

As a new member to our plan, you may be taking a drug that is not on our Drug List (formulary) or has certain restrictions, such as prior authorization, step therapy or quantity limits. While you talk to your doctor to determine the right course of action for you, we will cover a temporary 30-day supply (if you have a prescription written for fewer days, we will allow multiple fills to provide up to a maximum of 30 days of medication) when you go to a network pharmacy. After your first 30-day supply of drugs that are not on our Drug List or drugs that are restricted in some way, we will require medical necessity review even if you have been a member of the plan less than 30 days.
For example, you may need a prior authorization from us before you can fill your prescription. You should talk to your doctor to decide if you should switch to an appropriate drug that is on our formulary or request a formulary exception so that we will cover the drug you take.

New member transition restrictions
New member transition as a long-term care resident

If you are a resident of a long-term care facility, we will cover a temporary 31-day transition supply (unless you have a prescription written for fewer days). If necessary, we will cover more than one refill of these drugs during the first 90 days you are a member of our plan. If you need a drug that is not on our Drug List or is subject to other restrictions, such as step therapy, but you are past the first 90 days of membership in our plan, we will cover a 31-day emergency supply of that drug (unless the prescription is for fewer days) while you pursue a formulary exception.

Current members

If you are a current member of Providence Medicare Advantage Plans you may be affected by changes in our formulary from one year to the next. You may notice that the drug you are currently taking is no longer on the plan’s drug list (formulary) or the drug you are taking is now restricted in some way. If your drug is not on our drug list or is restricted in some way and you need help switching to a different drug that we cover or requesting a formulary exception, please contact your customer service team at 503-574-8000 or 1-800-603-2340 (TTY: 711). Service is available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (Pacific time), seven days a week.
