Preferred Drug List
As an HPN member, you have a wide range
of effective and affordable outpatient prescription medications. If you’re
concerned about out-of-pocket costs, we recommend you use generic versions of
brand name medications. Generic medications are approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), and contain the same active ingredient(s), strength and
dosage form as the brand name counterpart.
We maintain a Preferred Drug List (PDL) for prescribing clinically sound, yet
cost-effective medications. Your prescription cost is lower when you use a
generic medication listed on the PDL. This list is developed by our Pharmacy and
Therapeutics Committee, which includes actively practicing primary care and
specialty care providers, pharmacists and other health care professionals.
If you have any questions, please call Member Services at (702) 242-7300
or (800) 777-1840 or e-mail us at w3_hpnsd_member@sierrahealth.com
The Preferred Drug List does not apply to all Prescription Drug Benefit
Plans. Copayment amounts and the availability of certain prescription drugs may
vary by plan. Plan documents govern in resolving any benefits questions or
payments.
This is not meant to replace the advice of a health care
professional. If you have specific questions or needs, please see your health
care provider.
