Upcoming CareFirst Formulary Updates

As you may know, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and CareFirst BlueChoice, Inc. (CareFirst) regularly make updates to our commercial and exchange formularies, typically quarterly, to ensure drugs are safe and clinically cost effective. These updates apply to your patients with CareFirst prescription benefits. Formulary updates may include drug additions, utilization management changes, changes to drug tiers, and/or removal of medications.

One update we wanted to highlight is the addition of Accu-Chek as a co-preferred option for diabetic supplies, along with OneTouch. A summary of changes effective July 1, 2021 is available for your review.
