How does the Essential Rx Generics Plus prescription
program work?
Your Essential Rx Generics Plus prescription program has
been designed to provide convenience and cost-savings when
purchasing generic and certain brand medications prescribed
by your physician. When you receive a prescription order from
your physician, you must present it along with your program
identification card to your pharmacist. The card contains all the
SM
information your pharmacist needs.
Co-Payment Schedule
Retail:
a $10 for a covered generic medication
a $24 for a covered brand name medication
a Discounted price for any non-covered prescription medication
Mail order:
a $30 for a covered generic medication
a $72 for a covered brand name medication
aDiscounted price for any non-covered prescription medication
If the pharmacy’s customary price is less than the co-payment amount, you will be charged the lesser price.
Under no circumstance will you be required to pay more than the pharmacy’s customary price for your covered
or non-covered medication. Quantities available through the retail pharmacy program will be as written on the
prescription order or refill up a maximum of a 30-day supply or 100 units of a medication, whichever is less. This
program does not cover any over-the counter medications, medical supplies or devices even if purchased at a
pharmacy, and even if a prescription order is written. There is a $250 maximum per month per individual.
