Overview
A copay is a flat dollar amount paid by the enrollee for each separate prescription order or refill of a covered drug. Reduce your out-of-pocket costs with:

• Mail order: Order drugs through mail order for up to 90-day supply for only one mail order copay.
• Generic drugs: Opt for generic equivalents of your prescription drugs to get the same health benefits at a lower cost. Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether a generic version of your medication is available and if it would be right for you. A generic equivalent is a medication that contains identical active drug ingredients, dosage, etc. of a brand name prescription drug.

Non-Participating Retail Pharmacies:
Reimbursement up to 75% of the Maximum Approved Payment (MAP) less applicable copay. You will be responsible for the difference in cost between the amount charged and MAP, plus 25% of the MAP amount after deducting your applicable copayment. Direct Member Reimbursement Forms are available from Pharmacare (1-866-329-4448).
