Health plan price transparency helps consumers know the cost of a covered item or service before receiving care. As required under the Transparency in Coverage Rule of the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), plan sponsors must publish machine-readable files that provide pricing information for covered services based on negotiated payment rates for in-network providers and historical allowed amounts for out-of-network providers. See below for a link to the machine-readable files provided by Aetna.

If you are enrolled in one of the Healthy Focus medical plans, you have access to prescription drug coverage through Express Scripts.

Types of Prescriptions Available

The amount a participant pays for a prescription depends on the type of drug purchased.

• Generic drugs have the same chemical composition and potency as brand-name equivalents, but are usually less costly.
• Brand formulary drugs are on a preferred list of prescriptions (called a formulary) because they are safe and effective and help to control costs.
• Brand non-formulary drugs are brand-name drugs that cost more than generic or preferred drugs and are not included on the list of preferred drugs (formulary). Brand-name drugs that are not on the formulary require the highest co-insurance.

For annual formulary updates, refer to the 2023 National Preferred Formulary. 

Prescription drug formularies are subject to change. For up-to-date formulary information, participants should visit Express Scripts website or call at 1-877-223-4721.

Prescription Drug Program Plan Design

The chart below provides basic information for Network (in-network retail pharmacies and mail order) and Out-of-Network coverage. 

Note: For non-preventive prescription drugs, you must meet the annual deductible before the plan pays the majority of the cost. There’s no deductible for certain preventive drugs and lower costs for select maintenance preventive drugs. Refer to the 2023 Preventive Drug List for medications that are included.

Looking for pricing for your medication? Please visit the Express Scripts enrollment site.

Prior Authorization

Prior Authorization is a feature of the prescription drug plan that helps ensure the appropriate use of selected prescription medications. Certain prescription drugs require your doctor to provide information for you to gain approval before the drug is covered. This process helps make sure you receive the right medicine for your condition in the correct dose.

Step Therapy

Step Therapy is an approach intended to control the costs and risks posed by certain prescription drugs. It begins with a drug therapy for a medical condition with the most cost-effective and safest drug therapy and progresses to other more costly or risky drug therapies only if necessary. Here’s an example of step therapy:

• You try an over-the-counter medication for an allergy, but it doesn't control your symptoms.
• Your doctor prescribes a prescription drug that still doesn't give you relief.
• A third medication that's more expensive works well, but requires step therapy.

In this case, your prescription is covered if you've tried the first choice drugs.

Smart90

With this program, you have two ways to get a 90-day supply of your long-term maintenance medication — drugs you take regularly for ongoing conditions. You can conveniently fill these prescriptions through the ESI mail order program or any Walgreens network pharmacy. Your copay/coinsurance for your 90-day supply of medication will be the same whether you fill your prescriptions through ESI home delivery or at a Walgreens network pharmacy.

Note: If you continue to fill 30-day supplies of your long-term medication after the first two fills, you will pay a penalty (100% of the prescription drug cost). Penalties paid for not filing prescriptions through ESI mail order or Walgreens will not count towards the deductible or out-of-pocket maximum. Additionally, participants penalties will be imposed after a covered member has met their out-of-pocket maximum.

The mental health and substance abuse benefits are network-based and give participants a choice when it comes to receiving mental health and substance abuse treatment:

• For outpatient care, the participant pays a coinsurance. When the participant uses a network provider, the plan pays 80% after deductible. If a participant uses an out-of-network provider, the plan pays 50% after deductible.
• For inpatient care, the participant pays a coinsurance. When the participant uses a network provider, the plan pays 80% after deductible. If a participant uses an out-of-network provider, the plan pays 50% after deductible.

Participants may call Aetna to receive information and guidance on how to locate a network provider or participants can search for a provider on the Aetna website. If a participant elects to use an out-of-network provider, the participant will be responsible for additional out-of-pocket costs.

When inpatient care is necessary, the participant must notify Aetna and obtain authorization in advance, whether he or she is using Aetna or an out-of-network provider.

If an emergency occurs, and it is not possible to get advance authorization, the participant must notify Aetna of all inpatient treatment within 48 hours of the admission (or the next business day if the patient receives treatment on a weekend or holiday). The participant must contact Aetna regarding an emergency admission, regardless of whether he or she is in a Aetna or non-contracting facility.

Participants receive the highest plan benefits for mental health and substance abuse treatment by using network providers:

• For both inpatient and outpatient care, the member pays as follows:
  • Healthy Focus Basic Plan: 50% after in-network deductible
  • Healthy Focus Essential Plan: 35% after in-network deductible 
  • Healthy Focus Advantage Plan: 20% after in-network deductible 
  • Healthy Focus Premier Plan: 0% after in-network deductible

Deductibles and coinsurance for mental health and substance abuse services received through Aetna count toward the annual out-of-pocket maximums for the Healthy Focus plans.

If a participant chooses to use an out-of-network provider to obtain outpatient services, the plan pays a percentage of the cost as follows:

• Healthy Focus Basic Plan: 50% of recognized charge after deductible
• Healthy Focus Essential Plan: 50% of recognized charge after deductible
• Healthy Focus Advantage Plan: 50% of recognized charge after deductible
• Healthy Focus Premier Plan: 0% recognized charge after deductible

Deductibles and coinsurance for mental health and substance abuse services received through Aetna count toward the deductible and annual out-of-pocket maximums for the Healthy Focus plans.
