| Frequently
Asked Questions |
HOW
CAN I TELL IF MY PRESCRIPTION HAS BEEN TRANSMITTED?
A prescription
that has been electronically processed should have a “Claim
Reference Number” printed on your receipt or label. Always
check for this number. This way you can be assured that you have
received the lowest price and that your medication has been checked
against your central profile for interactions or other problems.
WHAT
PHARMACY CAN I GO TO?
This plan recognizes
Any Willing Pharmacy Provider. Any pharmacy that agrees to meet
the plan's conditions and electronically submit your prescription
can fill it for you. Over 50,000 thousand pharmacies across the
USA have already agreed to do this. However, if your personal pharmacy
is not a member of this network, the pharmacist can call the toll-free
number on your membership card and immediately arrange to process
your prescriptions.
WHAT
CAN I DO IF A PHARMACY WILL NOT HONOR MY DRUG CARD?
Pharmacy is an
increasingly competitive business - as is all of health care. However,
some pharmacies may not wish to compete in today's environment -
or they may feel that they do not need to. This plan gives any qualified
pharmacy desiring to participate the opportunity to do so. If you
wish to take advantage of your plan and its benefits, you will need
to go to a participating network pharmacy. This may require that
you use a new pharmacy. Fortunately there are many who will value
you as a customer - over 50,000 stores. Remember, a decision not
to participate is that of the individual pharmacy, not the plan.
CAN
I TRANSFER MY PRESCRIPTIONS TO A PHARMACY THAT WILL HONOR MY CARD?
Yes. The pharmacist
at the store you wish to transfer your prescription to can usually
do this for you.
WHAT
PRESCRIPTION QUANTITY CAN I GET?
Your physician
determines this; the standard is a 30 days supply. When using the
“Maximum Out of Pocket” feature, this plan does limit
quantities per prescription. However, if you are on expensive maintenance
prescriptions it would be much less expensive to purchase your drugs
through the
Mail Order Option.
