Access Blue PPO does not provide coverage for mental health services, including treatment for alcoholism, drug addiction and psychiatric conditions. Mental health drugs are also not covered under Access Blue PPO. This includes prescriptions which treat such mental health problems as attention deficit disorder, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, depression, or insomnia.


Formulary Two (formerly called Complete Care)

Access Blue PPO prescription drug coverage is based on Formulary Two (2816 KB PDF) (formerly called Complete Care). This is a list of covered drugs — both brand-name and generic — that have been carefully chosen by a committee of practicing physicians and pharmacists. While it does not cover all medications, the formulary consists of safe and cost-effective drugs approved for most medical conditions. It is revised periodically to reflect changing drug therapies.
