Kaiser Prescription Drug Program Clarification

Kaiser has “clarified” the following language under the prescription drug program:

 Kaiser will cover “single-source” generic drugs as brand-name drugs.  Single-source generic drugs are generic drugs that are available in the United States only from a single manufacturer and that are NOT listed as generic in the then-current commercially available drug database(s) to which Kaiser subscribes.  The industry treats single-source generic drugs as brand-name drugs because the cost of single-source generic drugs is similar to the cost of brand-name drugs.
