Generic Equivalent Listing
 
 

What is a generic drug?

Contrary to many myths, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) certifies that generic drugs are as safe and effective as their brand-name counterparts. In fact, the FDA’s quality standards for approval of drugs sold in the U.S. are uniform. The FDA requires the generic manufacturer to prove that the generic drug has the same active ingredients and the same therapeutic effect as the brand-name medication.

As part of an ongoing effort to address rising health care costs, Blue Cross of Idaho wants you to know about generic drugs so that you are informed about your options when purchasing prescriptions.
 

Generic Drug Initiative

Blue Cross of Idaho promotes use of generics through our generic drug initiative. Implemented in 2002 at the recommendation of our Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee—comprised of physicians and pharmacists through the state of Idaho—our generic initiative works by encouraging our members to purchase generic drugs instead of their more expensive brand-name counterparts. We've developed a generic drug list that includes specific brand-name drugs with generic equivalents that have been given an "A" rating by the FDA. For members choosing a generic drug, the incentive is reduced out-of-pocket costs for your prescription needs. And, long term, the practice of choosing generics is another way of keeping health care more affordable for everyone.
 

Generic Drug List

Blue Cross of Idaho has identified several brand name medications for which a generic is available with identical active ingredients. For brand name drugs that have a generic equivalent your pharmacists should automatically fill your prescription with the generic equivalent (unless indicated otherwise by your physician) and you will pay the lowest copayment. If you purchase the brand name drug, you will be responsible for the difference in cost between the generic and brand name drug plus the applicable brand name copay.
 
Some brand name medications are available under multiple names. This list may not include all of the brand names that are available for a specific drug.
