  • Pharmacies

    Your prescription drug benefit requires that you fill your prescriptions at a Participating Pharmacy.

     

    There are four types of participating pharmacies:

     

    • Retail: a Participating Pharmacy that allows up to a 30-day supply as outlined in your handbook of short-term and maintenance prescriptions.
    • Preferred Retail: a Participating Pharmacy that allows up to a 90-day supply of maintenance prescriptions and access to up to a 30-day supply of short-term prescriptions.
    • Specialty: a Participating Pharmacy that allows up to a 30-day supply of specialty and self-administered chemotherapy prescriptions. These prescriptions require special delivery, handling, administration and monitoring by your pharmacist.
    • Mail Order: a Participating Pharmacy that allows up to a 90-day supply of maintenance prescriptions and specializes in direct delivery to your home. To order prescriptions by mail, your provider may call in the prescription or you can mail your prescription along with your Member identification number to one of our participating mail-order pharmacies.

     

    Learn more about our participating pharmacies here.

  • Using Your Prescription Drug Benefit

    To find if a drug is covered under your plan use our online directory.

     

    Note that your plan’s formulary includes ACA Preventive drugs which are medications that are covered at no cost when received from participating pharmacies as required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

     

    • FDA-approved women’s contraceptives, as listed on your formulary, are covered at no cost for up to a 12-month supply, after a 3-month initial fill, at any Participating Pharmacy.
    • You may purchase up to a 90-day supply of maintenance drugs using a participating mail-service or preferred retail pharmacy. Not all drugs are considered maintenance prescriptions, including compounded drugs and drugs obtained from specialty pharmacies.
    • If you or your provider request or prescribe a brand-name drug when a generic is available, regardless of reason, you will be responsible for the cost difference between the brand-name and generic drug in addition to the Tier 4 or Tier 6 copayment or coinsurance indicated on the benefit summary. Your total cost, however, will never exceed the actual cost of the drug.
