NOTE: Drugs for cancer therapy and the reasonable cost of administering them are usually covered. The<br />
Prescription Drug Plan may implement prior authorization rules to determine if the cancer therapy is eligible<br />
for coverage under the Plan based on the plan rules. Certain off-label uses of cancer drugs may not be<br />
eligible for coverage under the Plan if there is insufficient published evidence to determine the toxicity, safety<br />
and/or efficacy of the cancer therapy for the specific cancer it is prescribed to treat.<br />
