Formulary: Quick Update on Drug Search (include Pack) - 5min

Corey Spears

Formulary STU1.1- Drug name guidance needs to be wrap up. (remember it is an update so provide additional guidance not big changes)

Main discussion was on Brand vs generic vs equivalent/alternatives. 

  • determine only drugs that in the formulary would be searchable. If searching by Brand and it is not in formulary, it would not show up. 
  • Would the PBM have reference to point to the generic form. Data is available to have Brand name linked to it. 
  • Would we need to have some information in the medication knowledge to allow the linkage to the Brand name.
  • Currently search for name is by RXNORM component which includes ingredient, strength, and dose form. 
  • Guidance would be - if searching for Brand name and returns nothing, you should do another search for the generic name. 
  • STU2 may be looking into the medication knowledge on if providing Brand name and it is not in the formulary as it might be a significant requirement
    • currently STU1 has medication knowledge is tied to a single plan for the formulary and there is not a way to indicate that is not part of a formulary
    • looking to address how to search all formulary with multiple plans



PlanNet/Directory

Plan Type

Issue is on the Plan Type sharing profile- Under insurance plan, we have type, such are medicare,, commercial as product type. Under plan type we have cost sharing, tiers such as platinum, gold. 

Challenge: How to manage difference between QHP and non-QHP plan types. Are there other types to add or categorize in a standard way?

  • This is in regards to the shopping experience use case. 
    • Would there then be any other plan type or level names that may be used when looking at shopping experience
    • What would be considered the cut off for the low or high deductible?
      • there are defined amount for high deductibles particularly when it has an HSA
  • Are there defined in regulations , do we have some sort of value set for plan types?
  • Add catastrophic to the code list-add if there is a standard deflintion for it.


New Implementer Support / Question - 10min

Question on Zulip: If we have concept of three tiers of medicare plans, premium, select, standard, can these be map to the Platinum, gold, silver. 

Answer: No, the plan types should follow the QHP definitions

We've heard some confusion around using $everything on patient and using bulk and how the provenance needs come into this. 

We want to clarify what the $everything on Patient means.

This may be going into STU2 update, wanted to share that this now has a JIRA ticket.
