The Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, a group of Kaiser Permanente doctors and pharmacists, chooses which drugs to include in our formulary. To make sure you always have the most effective, safe, and affordable drug options, the committee regularly reviews information about new and existing drugs. The formulary is updated monthly based on new information or when new drugs become available.
We’ll consider requests, at any time, from Kaiser Permanente members and affiliated health care providers to add or remove medications on our formulary. You can download a form (PDF) to submit a request.
Drugs that aren’t listed on the formulary, known as nonformulary drugs, aren’t covered by your plan. If your doctor decides that a nonformulary drug is medically necessary for your care, your doctor can request an exception for that drug. With an exception, the drug will be covered under your prescription drug benefit — if your plan one. Without an exception, you’ll be charged the full retail price for that drug.
The most effective way to get an exception to the formulary is to send a secure email to your doctor.
