Prescription drug
Your medication costs vary based on your medical plan and whether you use generic, preferred brand, non-preferred brand or specialty drugs and whether you fill your prescriptions with an in-network or out-of-network pharmacy. Using generic and preferred brands will ensure the best rates for your prescription needs.
If you enroll in medical coverage, you are automatically enrolled in prescription drug coverage.

*Under the HSA Plan, if more than one individual is enrolled, an individual deductible must be met per family member. Once this, or the family deductible has been met, the plan will pay each enrolled family member’s covered expenses based on the co-insurance level. However, one individual may satisfy the per person out-of-pocket maximum.
