Useful Resources

There is no out-of-pocket cost for your prescriptions when you follow the Benefit Fund’s prescription programs:

Think Generics First!

Always ask your doctor to prescribe generic drugs from the Fund’s PDL where possible. The generic drugs listed on the Fund’s PDL have the same effectiveness as the name brands, but they cost much less. Remember, if your doctor prescribes a brand-name even though a generic is available, or a non-covered medication, you will have out-of-pocket costs.

CVS retail pharmacies are offering the updated COVID-19 vaccines to patients nationwide.

Appointments can be scheduled online via CVS.com, through the CVS Health app, or patients can walk into CVS retail pharmacies. Prescriptions from outside prescribers is not required in any state to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. CVS pharmacists will answer any questions patients may have about the vaccine.
