Medical & Prescription Drug Benefits (05:49)

Coverage for prescription drugs is included with your medical option.

Overview

All four National Medical Program options include prescription drug coverage through CVS Caremark. (If you elect a regional medical option, prescription drug coverage is provided through the medical vendor — not CVS Caremark. If you have questions about prescription drug coverage, please contact the applicable medical vendor.)

Good News About Your Prescription Drug Benefits!

Starting April 1, 2024, the CVS Caremark Maintenance Choice® program will include more participating pharmacies. That means more locations where you can fill certain maintenance medications.

In addition to CVS Pharmacy, participating pharmacies will include:

  • Kroger stores (Mariano’s, Ralphs, Fred Meyer, QFC and more)
  • Costco
  • Select independent pharmacies

Maintenance medications are those you take daily for a prolonged period (e.g.,  blood pressure and cholesterol medications).

What You Need to Know

  • You don’t have to fill your prescription at CVS. Find local pharmacies in your network by registering online or by downloading the CVS/caremark app to access the pharmacy search tool.
  • Generic cholesterol and blood pressure medications, as well as diabetes supplies and insulin listed on the CVS formulary, are 100% covered.
  • You must use the CVS Caremark Maintenance Choice Program or Mail Order Services to fill your maintenance medication prescriptions. Maintenance medications are those you take daily for a prolonged period (e.g., blood pressure and cholesterol medications).
  • If you’re enrolled in an RRD National Medical Program option, you are automatically enrolled in the PrudentRx Copay Program for specialty medications as part of your prescription drug coverage through CVS Caremark.
