UMP's list of covered prescription drugs (sometimes called a "formulary") is called the UMP Preferred Drug List (UMP PDL). By looking at the UMP PDL, you can find out:
Major updates are made to the UMP PDL in January, April, July, and October. However, a drug may change tier or the ancillary charge may apply at any time, in particular when a generic equivalent becomes available. You can look up your prescription drugs by checking the online UMP PDL or by calling Washington State Rx Services at 1-888-361-1611.
Please note that certain drugs are not covered by UMP even when prescribed by your provider. In addition, if you get certain nonpreferred drugs, the pharmacist can switch the nonpreferred drug for an equivalent preferred drug through the Therapeutic Interchange Program.
For more information on the prescription drug benefit, including what you'll pay for prescription drugs, see the UMP Prescription Drug Information pages.
