Nah, I think it's B. Pharmacists have to get the health plan's okay before they can do any generic substitutions. Gotta cover their bases, right?

I'm pretty sure it's option D. Prescribers have some way to stop pharmacists from swapping out brand-name drugs with generics. It's all about preserving the doctor's authority, you know?
