BioScrip/Jai Medical Systems
2006 Therapeutic Formulary
This formulary describes the circumstances under which pharmacies
participating in a particular medical benefit program will be reimbursed for
medications dispensed to patients covered by the program. This formulary
does not:
a) Require or prohibit the prescribing or dispensing of any medication.
b) Substitute for the independent professional judgment of the physician
or pharmacist.
c) Relieve the physician or pharmacist of any obligation to the patient or
others.
I. Non-Prescription Medication Policy
This program does not cover most over-the-counter medications (OTC).
The only exceptions to this policy are listed within the program formulary.
Furthermore, an OTC medication can be reimbursed only if it is written on
a valid prescription form by a licensed prescriber.
II. Unapproved Use of Formulary Medication
Medication coverage under this program is limited to non-experimental
indications as approved by the FDA. Other indications, which are
accepted as safe and effective by the balance of current medical opinion
and available scientific evidence, may also be covered. BioScrip, utilizing
the procedures outlined in section IV, will make decisions about
reimbursement for these other indications. Experimental, investigational
drugs, and drugs used for cosmetic purposes are not eligible for coverage.
III. Prior Authorization Procedure
To promote the most appropriate utilization of selected high risk and/or
high cost medication, a prior authorization procedure has been created.
The criteria for this system has been established by the BioScrip/Jai
Medical Systems program with input from pharmacists and
I-1
physician practitioners and in consideration of the available medical
literature. The Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee will have final
approval responsibility for this list. In order for a dispensed prior
authorization medication to be reimbursed to the pharmacy, the patient’s
prescribing physician must apply for pre-authorization for a specific
patient and drug. The physician may phone or fax BioScrip to request
prior authorization:
BioScrip
Prior Authorization Desk
2787 Charter Street
Columbus, Ohio 43228
(800) 555-8513
(800) 583-6010 (fax)
Please have patient information, including member I.D. number,
complete diagnosis, medication history and current medications
readily available.
These phone lines are dedicated to physicians making requests for prior
authorization medication and non-formulary items. Members cannot be
assisted if they call the prior-authorization toll-free number. For emergent
requests for drugs requiring prior-authorization, a response will be made
within 24 business hours. For Non-Emergent requests for drugs requiring
prior-authorization, a response will be provided within 72 hours of receipt
of information. If the request is approved, information in the on-line
pharmacy claims processing system will be changed to allow the specific
patient to receive this specific drug. A prior authorization number will be
issued to the prescribing physician and is to be clearly written on the top of
the prescription to inform the dispensing pharmacist of the approval. This
number is for identification purposes only and does not need to be
submitted for adjudication to occur. If the request is denied, information
about the denial will be provided to the physician.
In addition to those products that require prior authorization all injectables
(except Depo-Provera, Insulin, Glucagon Kit, and Epi-Pen) require prior
approval. Questions about injectable drugs administered by homehealth or
healthcare providers should be directed to Jai Medical Systems Provider
Relations at 1-888-JAI-1999.
I-2
IV. Unique Patient Needs Non-Formulary Medication
This formulary attempts to provide appropriate and cost effective drug
therapy to all participants in the BioScrip/Jai Medical Systems program. If
a patient requires medication that is not covered by the formulary, a
request can be made for payment for the non-covered item. It is
anticipated that such exceptions will be rare, and that formulary
medications will be appropriate to treat the vast majority of medical
conditions. Requests for non-formulary medications should be made in
writing (on the “Medical Necessity form” if possible) and mailed or faxed
to:
BioScrip
Medical Necessity Desk
2787 Charter Street
Columbus, Ohio 43228
(800) 555-8513
(800) 583-6010 (fax)
Appropriate documentation must be provided to support the request. For
emergent requests for drugs requiring prior-authorization, a response will
be made within 24 business hours. For Non-Emergent requests for drugs
requiring prior-authorization, a response will be provided within 72 hours
of receipt of information. Approval of non-formulary items will be based
upon criteria developed by the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee of
Jai Medical Systems and BioScrip.
Physicians are expected to comply with this formulary when prescribing
medication for those patients covered by the BioScrip/Jai Medical Systems
plan. If a pharmacist receives a prescription for a non-formulary
medication, the pharmacist should attempt to contact the prescribing
physician to request a change to a product included in this formulary
guide.
The pharmacy will not be reimbursed for non-formulary medications. In
an emergency situation outside of BioScrip’s regular business hours,
where the physician cannot be contacted, the pharmacist is authorized
to dispense a 72 hour emergency supply of a medication, unless the
medication is classified as a DESI, LTE or specifically excluded drug
category (see section VI) product.
The pharmacist should contact BioScrip’s Help Desk at
(800) 213-5640 during regular business hours to arrange for
reimbursement for the emergency supply.
I-3
V. Newly Marketed Products

formulary during their first year on the market. Exceptions to this rule will
be made on a case by case basis using the medical necessity procedure.

Systems formulary and are not covered by the 72-hour emergency supply
