REFILL EVERY MONTH, SAVE AND BE HEALTHIER
The Refill and Save Program was designed to encourage you to follow your medication regimen as prescribed by your doctor. Starting 10/1/2009, if you refill your prescription for a defined set of medications (refer to FAQ below) within a designated timeframe, you will receive a $20 discount off your pharmacy copayment or coinsurance after the deductible phase is met.
How it works/Frequently Asked Questions
1. When do I need to refill my prescription to stay eligible for the $20 savings?
To qualify for the $20 savings, you must refill your prescription within 30 days of the day it was scheduled to run out. So if your prescription was written for 30 days, you’d have that 30 days plus a 30-day grace period (for a total of 60 days) to refill your prescription in order to qualify for the $20 discount.
2. If the grace period runs out before I refill my prescription, can I still get the $20 savings?
No, if it has been more than 30 days since your prescription was scheduled to run out, you will not receive the $20 savings on your next refill. However, you will receive the $20 savings on all following refills, as long as you refill within the 30-day grace period from when your prescription was scheduled to run out.
3. How does the discount work if I refill my prescriptions by mail?
You will receive the $20 savings when you refill your 90-day prescription by mail. Including the 30-day grace period, your refill deadline to qualify for savings is extended to approximately 120 days from your last refill.
4. What if I get a 90-day refill at a retail pharmacy?
You will receive the $20 savings when you refill your 90-day prescription at your retail pharmacy. Including the 30-day grace period, your refill deadline to qualify for savings is extended to approximately 120 days from your last refill.
5. Which medications qualify for this discount?
Asthma: combination respiratory inhalers (Advair and Symbicort)
Depression: serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (Cymbalta, Effexor XR, Pristiq).This program applies only to these medications. Consult your benefit plan documents to find out the specific copayments, coinsurance and deductibles that are part of your plan. Some plans may require you to pay the entire cost of the medication until the plan deductible has been met.
