The Preventive Drug List & High Deductible Plans 123
While high deductibles may give members more control over their health care dollars, they can also make some members hesitant to maintain the preventive medications that are sometimes necessary for good health. So, CDPHP developed the CDPHP Preventive Drug List, a list of medications that are no longer subject to the deductible with most high deductible plans.*

Although high deductible plans typically provide benefits only after the deductible has been met, Federal regulations have put “safe harbor coverage” into place for qualifying preventive medications, allowing them to be exempt from the deductible. The preventive safe harbor does not include any drug or medication used to treat an existing illness, injury or condition.
How was the CDPHP Preventive Drug List developed?
The CDPHP Preventive Drug List is made up of medications that CDPHP, guided by our Clinical Pharmacy department, has determined may prevent the onset of a disease or condition when taken by a person who has developed risk factors for the disease or condition that has not yet manifested itself or has not become clinically apparent, or may prevent the recurrence of a disease or condition from which a person has recovered.
