Types of prescriptions
Preferred generic
You save money on top-quality medications if you choose a generic drug when you fill a prescription. A generic drug contains the same active ingredients and comes in the same strengths as the original brand-name drug. Any generic drug that our plans use will meet strict U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements for quality and purity.
Preferred brand
Certain brand-name drugs are available at preferred pricing based on the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of the drug. You pay a lower portion of the cost, copay or coinsurance for preferred brand drugs compared to non-preferred drugs.
Non-preferred brand and generic
You pay the highest portion of the cost, copay or coinsurance for non-preferred drugs.
Prescription mail order
Mail order offers the convenience of having medications you take on a regular basis delivered right to your door at a savings. Use mail order for maintenance medications you take on an ongoing basis for conditions like asthma, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Some medications have quantity limits and/or are not available through mail order.
Preventive medications and supplies
Certain preventive medications and supplies are covered at no cost to you. These medications require a prescription and are subject to certain eligibility requirements. These no-cost benefits can include:
- Medicine and supplements to prevent certain health conditions for adults, women and children
- Medicine and products for quitting smoking or chewing tobacco (tobacco cessation)
- Medicine used prior to screenings for certain health conditions in adults
- Some contraceptive types for women
