Overview
Start with the exact names, dosages, and quantities of what you take. A plan comparison built on guesses produces guesses.
How it works
Check each drug against the plan's formulary tier and any step therapy or prior authorization requirement.
What to watch for
Consider the pharmacy network. Preferred pharmacies can change the price of the same prescription.
What to do next
Review annually. Formularies and tiers change every plan year even if your prescriptions do not.
