FMCP-S Module 4: Developing and Managing the Drug Formulary
The drug formulary, or preferred drug list, is a listing of drugs covered by a payer such as a health plan or pharmacy benefits manager - and is the backbone to understanding managed care pharmacy. There is extensive work done to prepare and review each medication added to the formulary. This module will detail what a formulary is and how a Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee develops and maintains a formulary.
Target Audience
Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, Managed Care Professionals
