ASCEND has a comprehensive list of covered drugs called a Formulary or Preferred Drug List. It includes the most commonly covered medications, information about drug tiers, and any restrictions or special requirements.

We may add or remove drugs from the formulary during the year. This includes changes to prior authorization requirements, step therapy, quantity limits, and moving a drug to a higher cost-sharing tier.
