Medical Benefits
Your employer offers medical insurance to protect the health of you and your family. It covers medical expenses such as visits to the doctor’s office, emergency care, and prescription drugs. It’s important to have a medical plan that meets your needs and the needs of your family.

Copayment and/or coinsurance is determined by the tier to which the Prescription Drug List (PDL) Management Committee has assigned the Prescription Drug Product. All Prescription Drug Products on the CVS Caremark Preferred Rx List are assigned as one of the four tiers.
Find individualized information on your benefit coverage, determine tier status, check the status of claims and search for network pharmacies by logging on to www.caremark.com.
Medicare Part D
The prescription drug benefit is creditable coverage. Medicare eligible participants need not enroll in a separate Medicare Part D drug plan.
Rx Mail Order Program
Save time and money by filling maintenance drugs through the mail order program. The Mail Order Program benefits members who are on long-term medications for chronic conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, depression or asthma. By utilizing the Mail Order Program, you can receive a 90-day supply of medication for the equivalent of two retail copayments. That’s a savings of one copayment for every 90-day supply.
