Health New England’s formulary is a list of covered drugs and prescription therapies determined to be a necessary part of treatment. Your plan covers both brand name drugs and generic drugs. Generic drugs usually cost less than brand name drugs and are rated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be safe and just as effective as brand name drugs.
