Pharmacy OptionsThere are two dif ferent types of pharmacies for you to be aware of as you decide where to get your prescriptionsf illed retail pharmacies and specialty pharmacies. To save the most money, bef ore you get a prescription filled,you should conf irm which pharmacy is considered ‘in-network’ f or that particular medication. Participating PharmacyoRetail Pharmacy Network – Non-Specialty ‘Generic’ medications and ‘Brand Name’medications listed in the Medication Guide can be f illed at these pharmacies at a lowercost to you than other pharmacies in your area. If you go to a non-participating pharmacy,your prescription will cost you more.

These pharmacies are different than the retail pharmacies and are identif ied inboth the Provider Directory and this Medication Guide. Using an in-network Specialty Pharmacy toprovide these Specialty Drugs lowers the amount you pay f or these medications. Limited Distribution (LD) Pharmacy – Drug manuf acturers will choose one or a limitednumber of specialty pharmacies to handle and dispense certain specialty drugs. Typically,these drugs are costly and require special monitoring and prior authorization (pre-approval).The pharmacy that dispenses your limited distribution drug can be f ound here: LimitedDistribution DrugsNon-Participating PharmacyoIf your plan of f ers out-of -network pharmacy coverage, choosing a non-participating pharmacywill cost you more money.
