All prescription drug benefits plans are provided through Medco. You may fill prescriptions:
- By mail order (This is required for maintenance medications.)
- At one of 55,000 participating retail pharmacies nationwide (You must present your ID card.)
- At any nonparticipating retail pharmacy
You receive the highest possible benefit when you purchase medications through the mail order pharmacy. However, if you wish, you may purchase a total of three fills of a maintenance medication at a retail pharmacy (one original fill and two refills). Additional fills of the same medication at a retail pharmacy will not be covered.

Managing cost
It is up to you and your doctors to decide which prescription drugs are best for you. You are never required to use either generic drugs or drugs that are on the preferred, formulary list. However, if you purchase a brand name medication when a generic equivalent is available, the plan will cover only up to the cost of the generic drug.
Visit Medco to price a medication. Download the formulary in the table above and share it with providers who prescribe your medication. Encourage your provider to prescribe a Tier 1 or Tier 2 drug if possible.
High Deductible Health Plan benefits
Use your Medco ID card to purchase prescriptions and take advantage of Medco discounts. Once you reach your combined deductible for medical and prescription drug costs, the plan pays a percentage of prescription costs.
