Express Scripts: Medications and Your Prescription Coverage

Important advice to help keep your costs down and get the medications you need.

Home Delivery

If you fill prescriptions for eligible maintenance drugs at a retail pharmacy, you may be paying more than necessary for your medications. You can save time and money by using home delivery pharmacy services from Express Scripts.1

Why Choose Home Delivery?

• Your medication will usually cost less than at a retail pharmacy.

• Get up to a 90-day supply delivered right to you with free standard shipping.

• It’s easy to order refills online, over the phone, by mail or with the Express Scripts mobile app.

• You can even refill many prescriptions automatically through Worry Free Fills.2

• Express Scripts pharmacists review every prescription and are available 24/7 to answer your questions.

How long will it take to process my order?

When you fill a prescription through the Express Scripts Pharmacy for the first time, you can expect delivery within 2 weeks from the time the prescription is received from your doctor. Keep a 30-day supply of your medication on hand at the time of your order. Refills typically take 3-5 days to process and ship.

1 Includes services provided by the Medco Pharmacy (for specialty drugs) and the Express Scripts Pharmacy2 By calling member services you can enroll in Worry Free Refills to receive automatic refills on maintenance medications. Your medications

will be dispensed when they are slated for a refill. No need to call in or request a refill.3 If you’re a first time visitor to the Express-Scripts website, please take a moment to register. Be sure to have your member ID number.

THREE EASY WAYS TO GET STARTED!

1. Call Member Services at 800-451-6245 to speak with a prescription benefit specialist. With your approval, Express Scripts will reach out to your doctor and make the arrangements for home delivery.

2. Sign in at Express-Scripts.com or StartHomeDelivery.com and scroll down to “Transfer your retail prescriptions to the mail-order pharmacy.”3

3. Ask your doctor to write a new prescription for up to a 90-day supply, plus refills for up to 1 year, if appropriate. For faster service, ask your doctor to send your prescription to Express Scripts through e-prescribing.

IMPORTANT: You can get up to two fills of each of your maintenance medications at a retail pharmacy. If you do not contact Express Scripts by your third fill, you will have to pay the full cost of your prescription until you contact Express Scripts to enroll in Home Delivery or decline enrollment.

Express Scripts: Medications and Your Prescription Coverage

Prior Authorization

Express Scripts prior authorization program (often called a coverage review) is designed to help keep prescription drugs affordable while providing the medicine you need.

Some drugs need approval, or Prior Authorization, before your plan will cover them. When you receive a prescription for one of these drugs, your personal medical professionals are consulted. This works like a health plan that consults your doctor before covering certain medical tests. Only your own doctor (or in some cases your pharmacist) can provide the information needed to determine if a drug can be covered.

Prescription drugs that need approval are flagged in the pharmacy’s computer with a message saying your prescription needs Prior Authorization. This means that more information is needed to determine if your plan can cover the drug.

In the next step, your doctor calls the Express Scripts Prior Authorization phone line at 800-451-6245 - open 24 hours a day, every day. During the call, an Express Scripts agent checks your plan’s guidelines.

For example, a medicine may need Prior Authorization because it can be used for more than one purpose: It’s a medical treatment for skin conditions, but it can also be used cosmetically to reduce wrinkles. Your plan would cover this prescription drug only for medical conditions.

When your plan covers your medication, it helps keep your copayments affordable. If the medication is not covered, your doctor could write a new prescription for a covered drug. Or you can get the original prescription filled by paying full price at your retail pharmacy.

Step Therapy

Your plan prefers that you first try generic medications to treat a particular condition. These preferred medications are chosen typically because they've been shown to work effectively and cost less than other medications in that category.

What is Step Therapy?

Step Therapy is a program designed exclusively for people who have certain conditions - high blood pressure and high cholesterol, for example - that require them to take medications regularly.

Step Therapy drugs are grouped in categories based on cost and effectiveness:

Front-line drugs are generic (Step 1). They have been FDA approved as safe and effective for treating your health condition. These drugs should be tried first because in most cases they will provide the same health benefit at a lower cost.

Back-up drugs are those brand names you see advertised on TV. There are lower-cost brand drugs (Step 2) and higher-cost brand drugs (Step 3). These drugs always cost more than front-line drugs.

How it Works

The next time your doctor writes you a prescription:

• Ask your doctor if a generic medication (front line drug) is right for you.

• If you’ve already tried a front-line drug, or your doctor decides one of these drugs isn’t appropriate for you, then your doctor can prescribe a back-up drug. Ask your doctor to call Express Scripts at 800-451-6245 to obtain a suitable prescription for you.

• You can always get a higher-cost brand-name drug at a higher copayment if the front-line or Step 2 back-up drugs aren’t effective for you.

QUESTIONS? Call Express Scripts toll-free at 800-451-6245.

Urgent Care

An urgent care center provides walk-in, extended hour access for acute, non-life threatening illness and injury care that is available when the typical provider’s office is closed (evenings, weekends and holidays). There are many studies by the Center for Disease Control and others that identify significant numbers of patients who went to an emergency room and could have been treated in an urgent care center. If you have a life threatening condition you should seek care in an emergency facility.
