Important Information About Your General Motors Prescription Drug Benefit
An Urgent Reminder About Medications You Take on a Long-Term Basi
You were previously notified of a change to the prescription drug benefit under the General Motors healthcare program option you have selected. Coverage of certain long-term medications at participating retail pharmacies is now limited to a maximum of three refills (each up to a 34-day supply). After three fills, you will have to pay 100 percent of the medication's cost if you continue to fill the prescription at retail. It you fill the prescription at home delivery, then you can receive up to a 90-day supply for a single copayment. Enclosed is the list of medications for which this benefit change applies.
You or a covered dependent may be taking one of these medications and may have already filled the prescription one or more times at a retail pharmacy. Please remember that, beginning with the fourth fill at retail, this medication will be subject to a 100 percent enrollee copayment.
How to Start Using Home Delivery
First, ask your doctor for a new prescription for up to a 90-day supply, plus refills for up to one year (as appropriate). Make sure you have a two-week supply on hand before starting home delivery. If not, ask your doctor for a 14-day prescription at a participating retail pharmacy while waiting for your home delivery prescription to arrive, so you won't run out of medication.
- OPTION 1-You can mail your prescription to Medco Health. Mail the new prescription using the enclosed order form and postage-paid envelope. Your order will be delivered within 7 to 11 days after you mail the order.
- OPTION 2-You can ask your doctor to fax your prescription to Medco Health. Provide your doctor with your Member ID number (located on your medical or prescription ID card) and ask him or her to call 1.888.327.9791 for instructions on how to use our fax service. Many physicians already use this service. Your prescription order will be delivered within 5 to days after your doctor faxes the order.
Your order will contain an invoice for your required copayment and instructions on how to submit payment to Medco Health. You can also arrange to have the charge put on a credit card. You can easily refill your home delivery prescriptions online, by telephone or, through the mail.
