Maintenance Drug List (September 2019)
Maintenance drugs are medications prescribed to treat chronic, long-term conditions and are taken on a regular, recurring basis. Examples of maintenance drugs are those used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma and diabetes. When medically appropriate, maintenance drugs can be filled for up to a 90-day supply.
The maintenance drug list represents brand products in CAPITAL LETTERS and generic products in lower case italics. Where a generic is available, it is listed by the generic name. If no generic is available, then the brand name appears. Due to the large number of available medicines, this list is not all inclusive. Please note this list does not guarantee coverage and is subject to change. Your prescription drug plan may not cover certain products or categories, regardless of their appearance on this list.
If your medication is not on this list your doctor may request it on your behalf, using the Maintenance Medication Exception Form on the last page of this document. The request will be reviewed by a medical director. If approved, maintenance drugs can be filled for up to a 90-day supply per fill. If denied, the drug is still covered for the days’ supply allowed by your specific plan.
The drugs noted with an asterisk (*) on this list are included in our Maintenance Choice® plans. You may be enrolled in a plan that has Mandatory or Voluntary Maintenance Choice. Mandatory Maintenance Choice: You may fill two 30-day prescriptions for a long-term, maintenance medication before you must fill the prescription in a 90-day supply through CVS Caremark® Mail Service or at a CVS Pharmacy®. Voluntary Maintenance Choice: You have the option to fill a 90-day supply of a long-term, maintenance medication through CVS Caremark Mail Service or at a CVS Pharmacy. You may also continue to fill a 30-day supply of these medications at any participating network pharmacy.
