Molly Janczyk: STRS, not Caremark, makes these decisions

It is STRS making the decisions on what drugs we have available to us. It is STRS deciding what drugs need prior authorizations and are on which tier: formulary or off formulary. Only STRS can ensure she gets her meds. Caremark has nothing to do with deciding which drugs and only go by STRS' plan. There are folks at Caremark that can override certain situations but WITH STRS approval.
