The Step Therapy Program promotes the use of what we call “first-line” drugs for select medications used to treat overactive bladder, asthma and diabetes/blood sugar management. Within this program, you will need to show that you have completed an adequate trial of the first-line drug before the second-line drug will be available for coverage. If the first-line drugs were not effective, caused adverse reactions or you have a medical condition that may have a negative interaction, the second-line drugs may be eligible for you. In these cases, a special authorization is required.
Visit the Drug Inquiry Tool on My ASEBP* to see if a drug you’ve been prescribed is included in the Step Therapy Program.
* If you are age 65 or older and live in Alberta, ASEBP recommends speaking with your health care provider about your prescriptions to see if they qualify for STEP pricing.
