Prescription drug tiers

• Tier 1 (mostly generics) contain the same active ingredients as their brand-name equivalents and meet the same federal standards for safety but typically cost significantly less

• Tier 2 (formulary) brand-name medications that are favored by a prescription plan based on drug effectiveness and cost
• Tier 3 (nonformulary) brand-name medications that are not on a prescription plan's favored list (or formulary) based on drug effectiveness and cost. They may still be covered but may require prior authorization and cost more
