Geisinger Gold may add or remove drugs from our formulary during the year. For more information, contact the Pharmacy Service Team at (800) 988-4861, seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., or 1-800- 447-2833 (TTY/TDD), seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
If we remove drugs from our formulary, add prior authorization, quantity limits and/or step therapy restrictions on a drug, or move a drug to a different tier, we must notify members who take the drug that it will be removed at least 60 days before the date that the change becomes effective, or at the time the member requests a refill of the drug, at which time the member will receive a 60-day supply of the drug. If the Food and Drug Administration deems a drug on our formulary to be unsafe or the drug's manufacturer removes the drug from the market, we will immediately remove the drug from our formulary and provide notice to members who take the drug.
Geisinger Gold covers both brand name drugs and generic drugs. Generic drugs have the same active-ingredient formula as a brand name drug. Generic drugs usually cost less than brand name drugs and are rated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be as safe and effective as brand name drugs.
