^ National Precertification List on the Aetna member website
* If your doctor prescribes a brand name drug for which a generic equivalent is available, you will be responsible for paying the generic copay and the full difference in the cost between the brand name and the generic equivalent. The difference in the cost between the brand and the generic does not apply to the annual out-of-pocket maximum.
** A long-term or maintenance medication is a drug you take for an extended period of time, such as for the ongoing treatment of diabetes, arthritis, a heart condition or blood pressure. After the third short-term fill of a maintenance medication, subsequent refills must be purchased as a 90-day supply at a Smart90 retail pharmacy (Walgreens, CVS) or Express Scripts home delivery pharmacy. If you continue to purchase short-term fills of a long-term or maintenance medication after the third fill, you will be responsible for 100% of the cost.
*** Formulary means Express Scripts’ formulary of preferred prescription drugs. Although the percentage copayments and maximum per prescription for specialty drugs are generally the same as for brand name drugs, higher copayments may be charged for certain preferred specialty medications determined to be non-essential health benefits. However, many of these medications may be available at no cost when purchased through the Plan’s copay assistance program. If the specialty medication being purchased qualifies for copay assistance, you will be contacted by a pharmacist from the Accredo specialty pharmacy and asked to enroll in the program. If you choose not to enroll in the program, you will be responsible for the higher copayment.
