Prescription Drug Program

Participating Network Pharmacies

The health plan will pay only for generic drugs if available. If you choose the brand name drug instead of the generic medication, you will pay the generic co-payment plus the difference in cost between the brand name and generic medications, regardless of a doctor’s Dispense As Written (DAW) instructions. If you wish to receive a generic drug and there is a DAW, the pharmacy must call your doctor to get his or her permission before switching to the generic.

Mail Order Program

A mail-order program is available with HealthSelect and all HMO coverage. Through this program, up to a 90-day supply of a prescription can be obtained (3-month payment for 90-day supply).

Cost to Employee

A $50 deductible applies to each member per plan year (September - August). After deductible is met, member will be charged the appropriate co-payment.
