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

For annual formulary updates, refer to the 2019 Preferred Drug List of Exclusions.

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.

Types of of Prescriptions Available

The amount a participant pays for a prescription depends on the type of drug he or she purchases. 

• Generic drugs have the same chemical composition and potency as brand-name equivalents, but are less costly.
• Brand formulary drugs are on a preferred list of prescriptions (called a formulary) due to significant discounts negotiated with the drug manufacturer and/or proven effectiveness
• Brand non-formulary drugs are brand-name drugs that do not have a generic equivalent and are not included on the list of preferred drugs. Brand-name drugs that are not on the formulary require the highest copayment, since these drugs are the most costly to the plan.

Prescription Drug Program Plan Design

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 2019 Preventive Drug List for medications that are included.

Prior Authorization

Prior authorization is a feature of your prescription benefits plan that helps ensure the appropriate use of selected prescription drugs. Certain prescription drugs require your doctor to get approval before they're covered. This process helps make sure you receive the right medicine in the correct dose, which is very important if you're taking a specialty drug. These medicines are only approved for specific conditions and usually require keeping in close touch with your doctor. Prior authorization takes the extra step to watch specialty drugs.

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.

Walgreens 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 Express Scripts mail service 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 Express Scripts 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 Express Scripts (ESI) mail order or Walgreens will not count towards the deductible or out-of-pocket maximum. Additionally, participants will still pay penalties after they meet 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 must call Aetna or Anthem (depending on their state of residence) to receive information and guidance on how to locate a network provider or participants can search for a provider on the Aetna or Anthem web site. 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 or Anthem and obtain authorization in advance, whether he or she is using Aetna or Anthem or an out-of-network provider.

If an emergency occurs, and it is not possible to get advance authorization, the participant must notify Aetna or Anthem 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 or Anthem regarding an emergency admission, regardless of whether he or she is in a Aetna or Anthem or non-contracting facility.

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

• For outpatient care, the plan pays as follows:
  • Healthy Focus Essential Plan: 65% after deductible in-network
  • Healthy Focus Advantage Plan: 80% after deductible in-network
• For inpatient care, the plan pays a percentage of the cost and the participant pays the remaining amount (the coinsurance).

Deductibles and coinsurance for mental health and substance abuse services received through Aetna or Anthem count toward the annual out-of-pocket maximums for the Healthy Focus Essential and Healthy Focus Advantage 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 Essential Plan: 50% after deductible out-of-network
• Healthy Focus Advantage Plan: 50% after deductible out-of-network

The participant pays the remaining amount (the coinsurance).

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