Prescription Drug Coverage in the PPO<br />

and EPOs<br />

• Generics preferred:<br />

– Your prescriptions au<strong>to</strong>matically will be filled with a chemically<br />

equivalent generic drug, if available and as appropriate.<br />

– If you or your doc<strong>to</strong>r requests a brand-name drug when a generic<br />

equivalent is available, you will pay your copayment, plus the<br />

difference in cost between the generic drug and the brand-name drug.<br />

• Maintenance Medication Program:<br />

– If you take a maintenance prescription drug <strong>to</strong> treat an ongoing<br />

medical condition, you must fill your prescription using the mail-order<br />

service.<br />

• In order <strong>to</strong> allow for time <strong>to</strong> set up the mail-order service, new prescriptions<br />

may initially be filled 2 times at a retail pharmacy.<br />

– You will receive up <strong>to</strong> a three–month supply of your prescription drug,<br />

typically for less than you would pay for the same amount of your drug<br />

at a retail pharmacy, and your medication is delivered <strong>to</strong> you.<br />
