	Now available for health care providers: Medicare Part D Formulary Restrictions 2013 Reference Fairfax-Falls Church CSB has updated its tool for health care providers to reference when prescribing medications for individuals covered by Medicare Part D. The tool focuses on the medications that CSB medical staff most frequently prescribe for people receiving our services. It analyzes each of the top 350 or so medications prescribed by the CSB medical staff, by each Part D Plan (31 plans). With this tool, CSB medical staff can quickly reference which medications (brand or generic) are covered by an individual’s plan, thus minimizing the cost to the individual and the CSB. Each year this document is updated by members of the CSB's Financial Assessment and Screening Team (FAST) to reflect plan and formulary changes. Find the Reference on our Connecting People to Resources for Recovery and Wellness page.     Important: Since Medicare Part D Plans have the option to change their formulary, always refer to an pharmacy benefit plan's website to check for changes in the plan's formulary.
