The patient is required to pay the generic co-payment plus the difference in cost between the generic and brand-name drug
when the brand-name drug is chosen but a generic version is available. The additional cost does not apply to the annual
out-of-pocket maximum.
Some medications may be covered by your benefit plan only for certain uses or in certain quantities. For example, a
medication may not be covered when it is used for cosmetic purposes or a quantity may be limited to certain amounts
over certain time periods. Contact Medco at 1-800-841-2806 if you have any questions.
If you purchase a prescription without using your card, you will need to complete a Prescription Drug Reimbursement
Claim Form. You can obtain the form by visiting www.medco.com or by dialing 1-800-841-2806 to speak to a customer
service representative. Prescriptions purchased at a non-participating pharmacy are processed as out of network and may
be subject to a higher co-payment reimbursement rate. Any difference between the amount submitted (retail cost) and the
amount approved is not reimbursable. The reimbursement rate is also determined after the deductible and co-payments are
subtracted.
