Express Scripts Canada Express Scripts Canada Dynamic Therapeutic Formulary Drug Listing Optimizing the Value of Health Benefits The Express Scripts Canada Dynamic Therapeutic Formulary (DTF) is designed to encourage the use of clinically sound and cost-effective drugs for selected drug classes. All the drugs listed on tier one are preferred and will be covered at a higher level of reimbursement. Drugs NOT on Tier 1 are usually higher in cost without superior clinical or safety advantage when compared to Tier 1 drugs, therefore, these will be covered at a lower level of reimbursement. Please note that the lists in this document are not meant to replace the advice of your Health Care Professional, but rather they are meant to provide general information about drug coverage. The following is a list of the most commonly prescribed drugs. It represents an abbreviated version of the drug list (formulary) that is at the core of your prescription-drug benefit plan. • Brand-name drugs are listed in BLACK letters • Generic drugs are listed in GREEN letters The list is not all-inclusive and does not guarantee coverage.
