What is a formulary?
A formulary is a group of covered brand name drugs on our preferred list. These formulary drugs are in our Tier 2 ($15 copay). These are medications most commonly prescribed by doctors for treatments approved by the FDA. The list is a reference of safe, effective, high quality, cost-effective medications. This list is reviewed regularly to ensure that the best drugs for your health care needs are available to you at a Tier 2 ($15) copay. Here is a link to the Culinary Health Fund Formulary.

How much is my prescription?
Your prescription copayments have 3 copayment Tiers.

Tier 1 - $5 – All covered generic drugs

Tier 2 - $15 – covered brand name drugs listed on our preferred drug list (formulary)

Tier 3 - $30 – covered brand name drugs that are not listed on our preferred drug list (non-formulary)

What are Generic drugs?
A generic drug is a copy that is the same as a brand-name drug in dosage, safety, strength, how it is taken, active ingredients, quality, performance and intended use. Generic drugs are as safe as brand-name drugs because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that all drugs be safe and effective.
