Drugs and new medical technology Each year, we evaluate new and existing medical technology to determine if any updates to medical policies are needed. Drugs covered under your pharmacy benefit are also reviewed by a Dean Health Plan medical director and pharmacists from SSM Health System and Navitus Health Solutions. Dean Health Plan follows the review process set forth by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) any time there is a new product or process. Based upon the results of the technology assessment, Dean Health Plan will revise its medical policies if necessary.
