Explanation:
"administradores/proveedores de prestaciones o servicios (sanitarias/os) o de los medicamentos aprobados o cubiertos (por las aseguradoras médicas)"


"At its most basic level, a formulary is a list of medicines [...] The main function of formularies today is to specify which medicines are approved to be prescribed under a particular contract. [...] In the US, where a system of private healthcare is in place, a formulary is a list of prescription drugs covered by a particular drug benefit plan."
