Would you like to make fewer trips to the pharmacy?
Effective January 1, 2012, Capital Health Plan Commercial members (who receive their pharmacy benefits through CHP) can obtain a 90-day supply of Tier 1 generic medication for three copayments at participating network pharmacies. This benefit will allow you to refill your Tier 1 generic medications just four times over the course of a year. To take advantage of this benefit, simply ask your doctor to write a prescription for a 90-day supply of your Tier 1 generic medication, and then fill it at any CHP network pharmacy.
Why is using a generic drug the best value for your dollar?
Brand name drugs cost an average of six times more than generic drugs—yet according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), generics are just as safe and effective. To start saving money today, ask your doctor about generic drugs and be sure to present your CHP membership card to receive the most from your pharmacy benefit!
Want to save even more money?
Ask your doctor if one of the generics found on our Low Cost Generics List (available at capitalhealth.com) is right for you. You’ll pay just $9.99 (plus a dispensing fee) for a 90-day supply. This list offers you the best value on more than 300 generic maintenance medications for chronic conditions.
