If you are taking or prescribed a drug that is not on your plan's Drug List, call the number on your member ID card to see if the drug may be covered by your medical plan. Examples of these drugs are contraceptive implants and chemo infusion. These drugs are often given to you in a hospital, doctor's office or health care setting. These can include drugs that must be given to you by a health care provider. Some drugs are covered under your medical plan instead of your pharmacy benefits.
Health plans may administer medical and pharmacy coverage separately for select drugs. Based on your benefits, if you use a drug manufacturer’s coupon or copay card to pay for a covered prescription drug, this amount may not apply to your plan deductible or out-of-pocket maximum. This may help lower your out-of-pocket costs. Your doctor should consult the Drug List when prescribing drugs for you. These prescription drug lists have different levels of coverage, which are called "tiers." Generally, how much you pay out of pocket for a prescription drug will be less if you choose a drug that is a lower tier. How much you pay out-of-pocket for prescription drugs is determined by whether your medication is on the list.
