We partner with Optum Rx® to manage pharmacy benefits for our members. Members can fill prescription medications at any pharmacy in our national network which includes most major chains like CVS Pharmacy®, Walgreens® and Rite Aid®, as well as grocery store pharmacies and many independent pharmacies across the United States.
Our pharmacy programs sort drugs into tiers based on their cost. Many of our plans include the 6-tier pharmacy program, which sorts drugs into 6 different cost tiers. Other plans include the 4-tier or 3-tier pharmacy program. Below you'll find the drug lookup for each of our pharmacy programs, along with other prescription benefits that come as part of the program included with your plan.
If you're not sure which pharmacy program is included with your plan, you can find out in your Schedule of Benefits. Current members can view this document by signing in to the Member Portal.
