You can save money by filling medications you take regularly in a 90-day supply instead of a 30-day supply. For the Premier PPO, Standard PPO and Limited PPO, examples of maintenance drugs include those for high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, diabetes (insulins, oral meds and other injectables, needles, test strips and lancets), depression, high cholesterol, asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and some osteoporosis medications (specialty drugs are not included). The maintenance medication benefit allows members to receive a 90-day supply at a reduced copay, instead of paying three 30-day copays.
Members enrolled in the CDHP or Local CDHP have a similar benefit that utilizes this HDHP/HSA Preventive Drug list from CVS Caremark: https://www.caremark.com/portal/asset/preventive_dl.pdf, and your drug will bypass the plan's deductible, which means your plan will pay its share of your covered services starting at the beginning of the year. You can conveniently fill these prescriptions either through CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy or at any Retail-90 pharmacy nationwide.
