What Is a Part D Indication-Based Formulary?

Beginning in 2020, Medicare drug plans have the option to utilize an indication-based formulary. This means that Part D plans can choose to cover a drug for specific uses/conditions, and not all of the uses approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

This one-page consumer fact sheet, developed for NCOA by the Medicare Rights Center, describes the indication-based formulary change and how you can navigate and understand your drug coverage options.
