Each year patients are affected by formulary driven switching for non-medical reasons. AWIR believes that medically stable patients should not be switched off of their medication for non-medical reasons at any point during their plan year and that the patient should be grandfathered with year-over-year protections. Legislation supported by AWIR would prohibit a patient’s drug from being removed from the formulary or moved to a more restrictive or costly tier unless the drug was to be deemed unsafe by the FDA.
