This symbol indicates some or all of the dosage forms are available generically. Prescribing generic brands of medication is key to keeping the escalating medication costs down to a minimum. Kern Health Systems PMPM medication cost is approaching $35.
65 This symbol indicates a drug identified by National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a high risk medication for the elderly and should generally be avoided for this population. Please consider a formulary alternative. Q This symbol indicates the drug should be billed to Medicare Part B as primary and Kern Family Health Care as a secondary payer. 1 This symbol indicates a tier. It will designate the tier only in regards to cost share. It does not reflect any step-therapy status. KFHC DRUG FORMULARY iii Preface FORMULARY

PHARMACY AND THERAPEUTICS COMMITTEE The Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee is composed of Physician and Pharmacist community providers as well as staff from Kern Health Systems. We have primary care providers, specialty physicians, and community based pharmacists (both chain and independent). Meetings are usually held quarterly. Issues you feel could improve our formularies or systems can be forwarded to the Director of Pharmacy at the plan offices, 9700 Stockdale Highway, Bakersfield, CA, 93311, phone 661-664-5101, fax 661-664-5191. Input from providers is welcomed. If you would like to serve on the Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee please advise our Director of Pharmacy or Medical Director.
NON-FORMULARY REQUESTS Requests for non-formulary medications or supplies may be submitted online (preferred), or state form 61-211. Please include the CIN number, medication failures, and non-formulary item requested as well as information on the patient. One drug per form please. Fax the information to Kern Health Systems at 661-664-5191. You may telephone Kern Health Systems about non-formulary requests but State Law does require information to be submitted (electronic or faxed).
SAMPLE MEDICATIONS Providers are discouraged from providing samples; however, if samples are given to the member, the entire course of therapy must be covered by the samples in accordance with Policy 2.24, Pharmaceutical Guidelines. Medications provided as samples do not establish continuity precedent, and therefore, do not obligate coverage by KHS.
TRIAL PERIOD Barring any medically adverse responses from the member, the trial period of a medication shall be determined per the recommended dosing titration guidelines presented to the FDA. iv KFHC DRUG FORMULARY
EMERGENCY DISPENSING During weekends, holidays, and non-business hours a pharmacy may choose to dispense enough medication (72 hours supply maximum) as an emergency supply to the member until the next working day, at the dispensing pharmacist's discretion according to pharmacy policy and procedures. If the medication is not on the Plan Formulary, a request must be submitted to payment processing stating the emergency and medication dispensed. TAR approval is not needed for reimbursement before dispensing of 72 hour emergency supply of non-Formulary drugs.
BRAND NAME MEDICATIONS WHEN EQUIVALENT GENERIC BRAND IS AVAILABLE If a medication is available as an AB rated generic, then the brand name version will become non-Formulary. If a generic brand becomes available during a patient's treatment, the patient will be expected to switch to the generic brand and must fail the generic brand prior to KHS granting authorization for the brand name. Providers with patients having untoward effects from a generic brand will be required to submit a completed FDA MedWatch form to KHS as part of the authorization for a request to allow a brand name version instead of a generic brand.
Biosimilars and drugs considered as Follow Ons will be treated in the same fashion as if they were a traditional generic of the innovator drug. Per FDA rules, they are not automatically substitutable, but from clinical perspectives they are viewed as a generic version.
PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY SOLICITATION If a representative would like something to be considered by the P&T committee they need to submit the request and supporting documents to KHS. KHS permits contact from the pharmaceutical industry only in written form. All correspondence is to be directed to the KHS Pharmacy Department. Material may be submitted by fax, U.S. mail, or via e-mail. Unless specifically requested by KHS, face to face presentations, phone solicitations or any other means of communication are not allowed. KHS values the P&T committee members time and effort dedicated to the plan and its members. They should not be contacted for committee considerations and requests.
TIER STATUS All medications listed in the KHS Formulary are Tier 1 and are covered if there is no restriction or the restriction(s) is/are met. Any medication authorized through the TAR process is also considered Tier 1 for coverage purposes. Please note that claims may reject at the pharmacy point of service for reasons not listed in the KHS Formulary, such as drug interactions and therapeutic duplications.
IV SOLUTIONS Please see Formulary section for IV solution categories covered. KHS covers the stated infused agents in the categories listed. These are typically covered as part of a per diem case rate.
FORMULATIONS AND STRENGTHS Medications listed in the KHS formulary are identified by the stated formulations and strengths. A drug may have only certain strengths or formulations covered. Non stated formulations would require a TAR. KFHC DRUG FORMULARY v Table of Contents

'Central Nervous System - Antipsychotic - Drugs for the nervous system^1^ For Kern Family Health Care (KHS Medi-Cal) most of the straight antipsychotic agents are carved out to Medi-Cal. Please see Appendix.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Agents^2^ 1 Rilutek® 50mg tablet
Riluzole^3^ Restriction: Allowed for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Analgesics - Narcotics - Drugs for pain^4^ Medications in this category may be restricted in one or more ways. The restrictions are noted under the individual medications. Those patients who require additional quantities, fills or restricted medications will need to have their physician provide monitoring tools such as prescription drug monitoring programs (CURES), urine drug screens, and others as appropriate, along with physician's progress notes and treatment plan accompanying the request. This will help KHS staff determine how to properly encode the prior authorization. A good resource for guidelines may be found at C.A.R.E.S Alliance, caresalliance.org. The CDC has issued guidance as well. The recommendations entail evaluating the need of an opioid versus other pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic alternatives. Members should be started on as low a dose and as short a duration as clinically appropriate. KHS members who are opioid naive are allowed up to seven days therapy. Regimens longer than that require prior authorization. Recently, focus on total daily dose based on morphine equivalents has been instituted by Medicare and Medicaid. The health plan limits to 120 mg MED for non-malignant pain. New opioid therapy regimens are limited to a seven day supply. Concurrent use with benzodiazepines, sedatives, and/or muscle relaxants is not recommended. Acetaminophen (APAP, Tylenol®) hepatotoxicity can result from frequent and/or high doses of those medications with an acetaminophen component. Maximum recommended daily dose of APAP for a patient who does not drink alcohol is 4000mg. Patients may also aggravate the problem by taking other OTC drugs with APAP or receiving prescriptions of other APAP combinations. It should be noted that the commonly prescribed Hydrocodone/APAP combinations are very limited on the KHS Formulary. KHS offers Oxycodone/APAP combinations such as Percocet® equivalents. Tramadol (Ultram®) although on the KHS formulary has many clinical limitations, including increasing risk of serotonin syndrome in addition to other centrally acting concerns. The FDA has recently added a new warning. Medications containing either codeine or tramadol are not to be prescribed to those under 18 years of age. Please consider morphine preparations before oxycodone or fentanyl formulations. Continued on next page 2 KFHC DRUG FORMULARY

Bill EDS, not KHS, for these patients. The carved out anti-viral agents are listed in the Appendix. Anti-virals for Hepatitis, both B and C are covered, but require prior authorization. Adherence to treatment is essential. These are generally restricted to specialists, and monitoring is required. Current guidelines for Hepatitis B suggest the use of tenofovir. Keep in mind that is billed to EDS. The state Medicaid program has outlined criteria that all Medicaid plans, including the managed care will follow for coverage of Hepatitis C medications. If a patient has Hepatitis C refer to Hepatitis C program as they case manage the KHS Hepatitis C patients. At minimum, the initial referral needs to include the viral load, genotype, lab results, liver function tests, CBC, Child-pugh assessment, Metavir score (or equivalent), biopsy results (if performed), and others as outlined by the DHCS criteria. A 4 week viral load is needed for determination if further treatment would be authorized. All medications require prior authorization. DHCS requires all current therapies to be considered based on current professional guidelines. Acyclovir is the only Formulary medication for Genital Herpes Therapy: Sanford, et al, in Guide to Anti-microbial Therapy - suggests there is little difference between antiviral agents for genital herpes. Valacyclovir is the prodrug of acyclovir; isolates resistant to acyclovir although low, (<1% in immunocompromised patients) are also resistant to valacyclovir. KHS only allows acyclovir at this time. An example of costs for these drugs for recurrent treatment is as follows: Medication & Days Therapy Cost Acyclovir 400mg TID x 5 days $6 Valtrex® 500mg BID x 3 days (non-formulary) $36 Famvir® 125mg BID x 5 days (non-formulary) $47 KHS requires failure of Acyclovir before the other agents would be allowed on prior authorization.

Prescription strength PPIs will be allowed in order of escalating cost. It is important to guide patients with life style changes to eliminate possible causes of GERD. Long term use of PPIs in management of GERD should be used with caution. KHS offers triple therapy for the treatment of Heliobacter Pylori (H. Pylori). See H. pylori section.

Muscle Relaxant^533^ Methocarbamol (Robaxin®) and Diazepam (Valium®) can be habituating and should be given with caution to patients with abuse potential. Diazepam is restricted to patients with cerebral palsy or severe spinal column injury. Diazepam is limited to 90 days’ supply and 10mg daily maximum dose without prior authorization. Limited to FDA maximum daily dosing guidelines. Caution in use with combination with opioids. FDA and other professional societies provide guidance statements of the usefulness of muscle relaxants for short periods of time, typically 2-3 weeks. Beyond that the effectiveness seems to diminish.

NSAID - COX-2 Agents - Drugs for pain^543^ Celecoxib (Celebrex®) is allowed without prior authorization for patients over the age of 65 or who are currently taking Warfarin (Coumadin®). Other indications require prior authorization. Only one daily is allowed - Celebrex® 100mg or 200mg. KHS requires that patients start at the lowest dose possible. Patients who fail a reasonable trial of two other Formulary NSAIDs will be considered for a COX-2 agent. Effectiveness: COX-2 medications are not more effective than other NSAIDs. NSAIDs cannot provide an unlimited amount of pain relief. While NSAIDs do provide pain relief and have anti-inflammatory ability, they do not alter the course of arthritis or prevent joint destruction. Safety: COX-2 medications are not risk free. Data does seem to reflect a lower incidence of GI toxicity but that may be diminished by concurrent aspirin therapy. Vioxx® had been allowed by the FDA to add to their product insert a statement of safety for GI problems. Celebrex® was denied a similar request. Adding another NSAID such as aspirin to COX-2 therapy will probably increase risk. (CLASS Study) COX-2 agents have renal liability as other NSAIDs. This risk may be less, but there is some potential for renal problems. These drugs can cause sodium and fluid retention like other NSAIDs. Cardiovascular safety with COX-2 drugs is being questioned. 1 Celebrex® 100mg, 200mg capsule
Celecoxib^544^ Restriction: Restricted to members > 65 years old or members on warfarin. Limited to one dose daily. Members not at risk are required to fail two other Formulary NSAIDs first. Other members and doses require prior authorization.

Type 2 Diabetes is treated in a step wise manner from the time of diagnosis:

These components are always complementary to medication therapies and include medical nutrition therapy, weight loss and regular daily exercise. The most convincing long term data that weight loss effectively lowers glycemia have been generated in the follow up of type 2 diabetic patients who have had bariactric surgery.
