SAVING ON PRESCRIPTIONS
By spending just a few dollars less on your regular prescriptions, you can enjoy considerable savings in the long run. Here are some tips for getting the greatest value on your prescriptions.
By using a mail order pharmacy service, you can get larger quantities of your prescriptions, often at the same price you’d pay for a smaller quantity at your traditional pharmacy.
You’ll pay lower prices for your prescriptions if you opt for an in-network pharmacy instead of a pharmacy that’s out of your plan’s network.
Most commonly used prescription drugs are available in less-expensive generic forms. If a generic form isn’t available, ask the pharmacist if there’s an equivalent drug that has a generic form.
How much you pay for prescriptions depends on which plan you’re enrolled in. View a side-by-side comparison of prescription drug benefits [PDF] for each medical plan. Or find your plan below to see what you'll be paying for your prescriptions—and how large of a supply you'll get.
