You can read all of the FAQ to learn more, or look for a question and answer. 1. What prescription drugs are on the List of Covered Drugs? (We call the List of Covered Drugs the “Drug List” for short.) The drugs on the List of Covered Drugs that starts on page 1 are the drugs covered by Michigan Complete Health (MMP). These drugs are available at pharmacies within our network. A pharmacy is in our network if we have an agreement with them to work with us and provide you services. We refer to these pharmacies as “network pharmacies.” Michigan Complete Health (MMP) will cover all medically necessary drugs on the Drug List if: your doctor or other prescriber says you need them to get better or stay healthy, and you fill the prescription at a Michigan Complete Health (MMP) network pharmacy. Michigan Complete Health (MMP) may have additional steps to access certain drugs (see question #5 below). You can also see an up-to-date list of drugs that we cover on our website at mmp.michigancompletehealth.com or call Member Services toll-free at 1-844-239-7387 (TTY: 711), from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. On weekends and on state or federal holidays, you may be asked to leave a message. Your call will be returned within the next business day. 2. Does the Drug List ever change? Yes. Michigan Complete Health (MMP) may add or remove drugs on the Drug List during the year. Generally, the Drug List will only change if: a cheaper drug comes along that works as well as a drug on the Drug List now, or we learn that a drug is not safe.

  • Drugs Which Can Affect Near Vision: a Useful List
    Drugs Which Can Affect Near Vision: A Useful List Joanne L. Smith B.Sc., Ph.Phm.* J. Raymond Buncic, M.D., F.R.C.S.(C)t ABSTRACT This paper documents a list of drugs that cause problems with near vision, by virtue of effects on accommodation, occasionally refractive error and diplopia. It is meant as a reference aid to the clinician when confronted with problems of focusing on near objects or print. There are many drugs that have been reported to interfere with near or reading vision, producing blurring, decreased accommodation and diplopia. This paper lists the drugs that have been reported in the literature to produce symptoms which interfere with near vision. Case reports for the listed drugs vary greatly from many to few. The drugs have been divided into the following categories: those causing (A) blurring at near, (B) diplopia and (C) induced myopia. Those drugs which only rarely cause these symptoms have been omitted.
