HealthPartners looks to clinical experts to determine what to include in the HealthPartners preferred drug lists (formularies). These decisions are made by the physicians and pharmacists on our Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee. The committee develops, manages, updates and administers our preferred drug lists.

For certain drugs, the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee has developed criteria that must be met before the drugs will be approved for coverage, even if it is on the preferred drug lists.
