The term "Lifetime" means the total time period of a Covered Person's coverage under this Plan, regardless of the number of breaks in that coverage. Under no circumstances does the term "Lifetime" mean the duration of a Covered Person's life. MAIL ORDER PHARMACY Mail Order Pharmacy is a Pharmacy related to the PBM that dispenses longer term supplies of certain Maintenance Medications to you. MAINTENANCE MEDICATION A "Maintenance Medication" is a medication used for long periods of time to treat chronic conditions, for example, insulin or hypertension medications. MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE COST Maximum Allowable Cost List – a list of Prescription Drugs that will be covered at a price level that the PBM has established as a maximum amount that it will pay for such Prescription Drug. MEDICALLY NECESSARY All Prescription Medications paid for under the Rx Plan must be Medically Necessary, which means that they are provided for the purpose of preventing, evaluating, diagnosing or treating a sickness, Injury, mental illness, substance related and addictive disorder, or disease (and symptoms), that meet the following requirements: A. provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Standards of Medical Practice in the United States (see definition below); B. clinically appropriate, in terms of type, frequency, extent, site and duration, and considered effective for your sickness, Injury, mental illness, substance-related and addictive disorder, or disease (and symptoms); C. not primarily for the convenience, personal preference, or appearance of the Participant or their Physician or Other Provider; and D. not Experimental or Investigative Services in nature at the time the Drugs are provided. For this purpose, the term "Generally Accepted Standards of Medical Practice" are standards that are based on credible scientific evidence published in peer-reviewed medical literature generally recognized by the relevant medical community, relying primarily on controlled Clinical Trials, or, if not available, observational studies from more than one institution that suggest a causal relationship between the health care services and positive health outcomes. If the PBM determines in its discretion that no credible scientific evidence is available, then standards based on Physician specialty society recommendations or professional standards of care may be considered. The PBM may consult expert opinion in determining whether health care services are Medically Necessary. The decision to apply Physician specialty society recommendations, the choice of expert and the determination of when to use any such expert opinion, shall be within the PBM's sole discretion. In addition, the PBM may develop and maintain clinical policies that describe the Generally Accepted Standards of Medical Practice scientific evidence, prevailing medical standards and clinical guidelines or the PBM's own standards to support its determinations regarding specific covered Prescription Drugs or related services.
