The need for this investment is critical as Cleveland’s lead poisoning rates are nearly four times the national average. This unprecedented investment by a managed care organization to make homes lead safe repair loans brings the total pool of dollars in Lead Safe Home Fund to more than $25 million. “Housing quality has a profound impact on health and CareSource is proud to protect the citizens of Cleveland from lead hazards by investing in the Lead Safe Home Fund,” said Steve Ringel, CareSource Ohio Market President. “Ensuring the homes of our most vulnerable neighbors are lead safe demonstrates our commitment to creating a culture of health for our members.” Created by the Lead Safe Cleveland Coalition (the Coalition), the Fund is designed to support effective, enforceable, and equitable solutions in lead safety for qualifying property owners and families in Cleveland. Over the past two years, the Coalition has expanded to more than 450 members, all working to bolster implementation of the City of Cleveland Ordinance 747- 2019, the groundbreaking law that requires rental units built before 1978—90% of Cleveland’s housing stock—to be certified as lead safe beginning in March 2021.

    MARKETPLACEMARKETPLACE PLANPLAN Drug FormularyFormulary Indiana<State> IN-EXCM-0854b-V.11 CareSource is a Qualified Health Plan issuer in the INTRODUCTION We are pleased to provide the 2021 CareSource Drug Formulary. The Drug Formulary is a list of the drugs covered by CareSource. This document is divided into three parts: 1. The Introduction – Provides important facts about the CareSource prescription drug benefit. This section explains terms, such as network pharmacy, prior authorizations, quantity limits, step therapy, therapeutic interchange and exceptions. 2. The Drug Formulary – Lists the drugs we cover. 3. The Index – Lists all of the covered drugs in alphabetical order. You can find the Index in the back of this document. PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE DETAILS Best Medical Practices We want to make sure our members get the safest, most cost-effective drugs for their needs. We use evidence-based guidelines to make sure our Formulary meets best medical practices. Network Pharmacies CareSource provides coverage for prescription drugs and some prescription medical supplies. CareSource contracts with pharmacies in order to provide members with a full range of prescription benefits. Members may choose and receive prescriptions from any pharmacy that is contracted with CareSource. These are often referred to as network pharmacies. It is important that members receive prescriptions from network pharmacies because prescriptions received from non-network pharmacies are generally not reimbursable or covered by CareSource, except as otherwise required by applicable federal and state law and your Evidence of Coverage. Accordingly, members may be responsible for the entire amount charged by a non-network pharmacy. Network pharmacies can include local pharmacies, mail-order pharmacies or specialty pharmacies.
