For Providers

The Pharmaceutical Utilization Management (UM) Programs help ensure access to medically necessary and appropriate, cost-effective drug therapy.

Formulary and Alternatives

The goal of the formulary is to provide cost-effective pharmacotherapy based on prospective, concurrent and retrospective review of medication therapies and utilization.  The medications included in the formulary are reviewed and approved by the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, which includes practicing physicians and pharmacists from the Horizon NJ Health provider community.  

The Formulary List is updated annually and as changes are made or new medications approved.  The Formulary List is updated as of the date that formulary changes are put in place.  Changes to the Formulary List are included in the provider newsletter mailed to all providers on a quarterly basis.
