Section 5(f). Prescription Drug Benefits

Benefits Description
Here is how to obtain your prescription drugs and supplies:

Preferred Retail Pharmacies

Make sure you have your ID card when you are ready to purchase your prescription.
Go to any Preferred retail pharmacy, or
Visit the website of your Preferred retail pharmacy to request your prescriptions online and delivery, if available.
For a listing of Preferred retail pharmacies, call the Retail Pharmacy Program at 800-624-5060, TTY: 711, or visit our website, www.fepblue.org.

Notes:

Benefits for Tier 2 specialty drugs purchased at a Preferred retail pharmacy are limited to one purchase of up to a 30-day supply for each prescription dispensed. All refills must be obtained through the Specialty Drug Pharmacy Program, see page 98 for more information.
Retail pharmacies that are Preferred for prescription drugs are not necessarily Preferred for durable medical equipment (DME) and medical supplies. To receive Preferred benefits for DME and covered medical supplies, you must use a Preferred DME or medical supply provider. See Section 5(a) for the benefit levels that apply to DME and medical supplies.
For prescription drugs billed for by a skilled nursing facility, nursing home, or extended care facility, we provide benefits as shown on this page for drugs obtained from a Preferred retail pharmacy, as long as the pharmacy supplying the prescription drugs to the facility is a Preferred pharmacy.
For a list of the Preferred Network Long Term Care pharmacies, call 800-624-5060, TTY: 711.
For coordination of benefits purposes, if you need a statement of Preferred retail pharmacy benefits in order to file claims with your other coverage when this Plan is the primary payor, call the Retail Pharmacy Program at 800-624-5060, TTY: 711, or visit our website at www.fepblue.org.
