Prescription Drugs

When you enroll in Medical coverage, you will also receive prescription benefits. Here you can see the basics but be sure to check the formulary for a full list of the prescriptions that are covered by the plan. Remember, you can always ask your doctor about lower-cost alternatives. Generic drugs tend to be less expensive than brand-name drugs, so keep that in mind when shopping around.
