(34,069 posts)is tied to particular plans. The link (and quote) does not say that you cannot find out ahead of time which specialty drugs covered on a particular plan, it says you have to log in to see it online, because what is covered is tied to a specific plan. Have you tried calling, telling customer service person and asking about the plan you are interested in buying, to see whether the drugs you are concerned about are covered?
I have never, on any plan where there was a formulary or a specialty drug list, been denied that information in advance of purchasing the plan. The last time was October. In order to answer my question about a medication in a class that is frequently not covered (and often not listed in formularies), the person on the phone had to find someone on the plan I was considering who was getting that medication to confirm it was covered, and at what price - since it was plan specific. But she found and provided the information to me - as has happened with each of the plans I have had over the last several years.
It is far more effective to find the customer service number and call and ask, than it is to complain on an internet board (which they will never read) that they won't give you the information.
