When a drug is prescribed, members should remind their doctor that they are covered by the Deductible/Copayment Three-Tier Drug Program and review the Formulary Guide with their doctor. Here’s how the program works:
Your doctor needs to give you a prescription for medication:
Your prescription is a formulary drug.
You give your doctor your formulary listing and ask him/her to prescribe you a drug from the Select Drug Program rormulary, if possible. (Your cost-sharing will be less if the drug is on the formulary.)
Your prescription is NOT on the formulary.
Your doctor reviews the formulary and decides that a drug on the formulary can treat your condition. He gives you a prescription for your medication. (If you are taking a maintenance medication, you may obtain a second prescription for your 90-day refill through mail-order.)
Your doctor reviews the formulary and decides a covered non-formulary drug fits your needs better and writes you a prescription. (If you are taking a maintenance medication, you may obtain a second prescription for your 90-day refill through mail-order.)
You take your prescription to your local participating FutureScripts® pharmacy.* Your pharmacist fills your prescription and charges you the lower generic or brand formulary copayment.
You take your prescription to your local FutureScripts participating pharmacy.* Your pharmacist fills your prescription and charges you the higher non-formulary brand copayment.
If this drug is a maintenance medication, you may send your second prescription to our mail-order pharmacy, to receive your next 90-day supply. You will pay two times the generic or brand formulary copayment for a formulary drug or two times the higher non-formulary brand copayment for a covered non-formulary drug.
OR
Simply return to your pharmacy if a refill is indicated. You will pay the generic or brand formulary copayment for a formulary drug or the higher non-formulary brand copayment for a covered non-formulary drug. You can receive up to a 90-day supply of your medication at a retail pharmacy. Contact AmeriHealth at 1-888-671-5280 to learn more.
