Please note that going forward you will receive the Magellan Rx Standard Formulary and the Magellan Rx Precision Formulary documents in the same email every quarter.
- If your clients/members have currently opted into the Magellan Rx Standard Formulary, it’s important that you only distribute the attachment related to that formulary.

Product Update Background:
The Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee (P&T), Therapeutic Assessment Committee (TAC), and Value Assessment Committee (VAC) meet periodically to review the status of each formulary and make recommendations. As a result of these periodic reviews, the Formulary may be modified. This update summarizes formulary and utilization management (edit) changes resulting from the committees’ most recent meetings.
Product Update Communications Plan:
If applicable, members with a prescription for any drug moving to Tier 3 status will receive a personalized letter naming the drug and identifying formulary therapeutic alternatives (Tier 1 & Tier 2) within two months of the effective date of this change.
Talking Points:
The Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T), Therapeutic Assessment Committee (TAC), and Value Assessment Committee (VAC) make changes to the formulary to help ensure that plan members have access to quality, safe and cost-effective prescription benefits.
