FAQs What copay will I pay for my medication? Please refer to the copay structure table within this booklet. Tier 1 CoPay: The amount you are required to pay for a Tier 1 medication, which are low cost generic medications. Tier 2 CoPay: The amount you are required to pay for a Tier 2 medication, which are high cost generics and low cost brand medications. Tier 3 CoPay: The amount you are required to pay for a Tier 3 medication, which are expensive brand medications that may have a lower cost alternative you can discuss with your doctor. The MedTrak Drug List can be found by logging onto www.medtrakservices.com and accessing Member Resources and then Member Forms. Will I pay more if I choose to fill a Brand when a Generic is available? Yes. If your brand drug has a generic equivalent, you will pay a higher copay in addition to the difference in cost between the brand and generic prescription. What is the difference between a brand and a generic? Cost. The FDA requires that a generic drug have the same quality and performance as its brand counterpart. Generics are less expensive because they are not required to repeat costly clinical trials the brand drug completed, along with lower advertising, marketing and promotion costs. To find out if your drug offers a lower cost alternative, go to the MedTrak website. 46
FAQs What if a doctor prescribes a drug and the pharmacy offers a generic instead? Generic drugs provide significant value to both you and your employer. The FDA requires that generics have the same strength, purity and stability as the original brand product so they work the same as their brand equivalent. Whenever possible, you should use the generic over the brand equivalent, which will save you and your plan money without sacrificing effectiveness. How can I find out more about cost savings? Go to www.medtrakservices.com. Click on Rx Price Finder to find the cost of specific drugs and lower cost alternatives. In addition, if you take a drug that offers a lower cost alternative, you will receive a letter in the mail providing information on the preferred lower cost alternative(s). Please discuss this information with your doctor. Switching to the preferred alternative will save you and your employer money. What is Step Therapy? Step Therapy is a program designed for members who take medication on a regular basis to control their condition to offer the best medication at the lowest possible cost. With Step Therapy, members who are taking a Step-Two medication are provided less expensive Step-One alternatives, which have been clinically proven to be safe and effective in treating the condition. For more information, go to our website and find more information on Step Therapy under Member Information>My Plan Information. What if I have more questions? We want to help you!
