Prescription medications

 

We cover the prescription medications on the formulary. These medications need to be medically necessary. This means you need them to manage a health condition. You may or may not have small copays. If you’re unsure, you can check your member handbook:

 

 

You can check the downloadable formulary (PDF). Or check it using our online search tool. If your medication isn’t on this list, ask your provider to: 

 

  • Prescribe a similar one that’s on the formulary

  • Get prior authorization (PA) for coverage

 

Need PA? Just ask your provider to complete PA. Or they can call Provider Relations at 1-866-638-1232 (TTY: 711).

Get medications and refills

Get medications and refills

If you need medication, your provider will write you a prescription for one on the formulary. You’ll want to:

 

  • Ask your provider to make sure the medication is on the formulary
  • Take your prescription to a pharmacy in our network
  • Show your plan member ID card at the pharmacy

Need refills? Your medication label notes how many refills you have. Call your pharmacy to place a refill order well before you run out of medication. If your prescription is out of refills, check with your provider at least five days before you run out of medication. They may want to see you before adding refills.

Fill your prescriptions

 

In person

 

You can fill your prescriptions at any pharmacy in our network. We can’t cover medications that you fill at other pharmacies.

Specialty medications

Specialty medications

What are specialty medications? Usually, you can't get these type of medications at a local retail pharmacy. These types of medications may be injected, infused or taken by mouth. They often need special storage and handling. And they need to be delivered quickly.

 

Some conditions that need specialty medications include:

 

  • Cancer
  • Hemophilia
  • Immune deficiency
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis

Do you have a prescription for a specialty medication? If yes, you can fill it at any pharmacy in our network. Not all pharmacies carry these medications. So you may need to find a specialty pharmacy. 

 

Your provider may need to get PA for some medications.

You can enjoy many helpful services, including:

 

  • Secure delivery of your medication at no cost
    (usually within 48 hours of confirming your order)
  • Delivery to your home, doctor’s office or any other place you choose
  • Package tracking for timely delivery
  • Training on how to use or self-inject your medication 
  • Injection supplies at no cost (examples: needles, syringes, alcohol swabs,
    adhesive bandages and containers for safely throwing away needles)
