How the Prescription Drug Program Works
Prescription Drug Program Design
Your coverage under the Prescription Drug Program pays benefits using three different cost-sharing levels, or “tiers.” Each tier then refers to a drug’s classification on the Primary/Preferred Drug List. As a result, the amount you pay depends on all of the following:
 | Which tier of drug classification you select on the Primary/Preferred Drug List, including:
|
 | Generic;
|
 | Brand-name preferred drug (on the claims administrator’s approved list, except as noted in the “What Expense Is Excluded From Being a Covered Expense – Prescription Drug Program” section); or
|
 | Brand-name non-preferred drug (not on the claims administrator’s approved list, and as noted in the “What Expense Is Excluded From Being a Covered Expense – Prescription Drug Program” section).
|
 | Whether you or your spouse/domestic partner obtains your prescription drug service from a participating or non-participating retail pharmacy.
|
 | Whether you or your spouse/domestic partner receives your prescription through the mail service. |
