More about this benefit

Your medical plan determines your share

Prescription coverage is included with your medical plan. Costs depend on the medical option and whether the drug is generic, formulary brand or non-formulary brand.

A cost that does not count toward the maximum

Copayments for the difference between a brand-name product and its generic equivalent do not count toward the out-of-pocket maximum.
