30 day Retail/90 day Retail
Definition
or Mail Order
Generics contain the same active ingredient as their brand-name equivalents and offer the same effectiveness and safety. Some generics use a brand name instead of a chemical name. Both have the lowest co-pay. Medications in this tier have been selected by your pharmacy benefit plan as preferred brand drugs. These drugs have higher co-pays than generics but are less costly than non-preferred medications on the third tier. Because a generic version or a second-tier alternative is available, non-preferred 3 – Nonpreferred medications have the highest co-pays and are not listed on the Preferred Medication List. Maximum annual plan year out-of-pocket for prescription drug co-pay is $2,000 per individual; $4,000 for family.
90-day prescriptions are available at the same co-pay at retail and mail order.
Remember 90 day prescriptions save you money!

Disability and Income Prot Tobacco Cessation Program
It's okay to be a quitter—
it's time to stop using tobacco
Once you make the decision to quit tobacco, you may enroll with
the Better You from Blue Next Steps program or a counseling
program with the Area Health Education Center (AHEC). Once
you initiate the counseling session and obtain a prescription from
a physician, you will be eligible for FREE tobacco cessation
medications.

Both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) tobacco cessation
products are available through this program with up to two
twelve-week cycles each plan year at no cost to you.
Products that can help you quit include:

Nicotine replacement products (NRP): These products
provide small doses of nicotine and are considered tobacco substitutes. Some nicotine replacement product options are: nicotine skin patches, gum, lozenges, or nasal sprays.
Prescription medications like Chantix or Zyban. Since
medication isn't for everyone, you should meet with your doctor and discuss which product is right for you.
Take your prescription, Catamaran ID card, and over the
counter product (if applicable) to the pharmacy counter,
they will process your claim at no cost to you as long as you
actively participate in the tobacco cessation program.
