Drug Card Program - Your Express Scripts I.D. card enables you to purchase covered prescription drugs for you and your covered family members at local participating pharmacies for contracted prices. Contracted prices are usually lower than regular retail prices, so your total payment will generally be less than the normal
Mail Service Prescription Drug Program - The Express Scripts mail-service pharmacy will provide covered long-term or maintenance prescription drugs to eligible employees, retirees and dependents at discounted prices. You pay the following amounts for up to a 90-day supply or refill of a maintenance prescription drug obtained through the Mail Service Program. The Plan pays the rest.
If you choose a brand name drug when a generic equivalent is available, you must pay $10 plus the difference in cost between the brand name drug and its generic equivalent.
Prescription Drug Program for Medicare-Eligible Individuals - Medicare-eligible employees, retirees and dependents have co-pays of 20% retail and $10/$20/$35 mail service, with a $1,000 out-of-pocket limit per calendar year. Use of the mail-service pharmacy for a maintenance medication is mandatory after the original supply plus one refill. No benefits are provided for out-of-network pharmacy purchases. (See page 55 for more information.)
Specialty Drugs - Patients MUST go through CuraScript for all specialty drugs—even when the drugs are to be administered in the doctor's office. (See page 55 for details.)
