Important: If you work for an employer who is in the pharmacy business, your network may be more limited than what is shown on this search.

 

Formulary
The UMR Formulary includes brand and generic medication approved by the FDA. Each medication is rated according to its cost. There are three tiers in the rating: Tier 1 is the lowest cost medication; Tier 3 is the highest cost.

 

The Formulary helps you find lower-cost alternatives. When selecting a medication, you and your doctor may wish to consult the Formulary to see if there is a Tier 1 option (lowest cost) that can treat your condition.
