care to look up a medication’s tier placement, cost or possible lower cost alternatives. Ask your doctor if a lower-cost alternative medication may be right for you.

At the pharmacy if you have a question about the cost of your medication please call the dedicated SHBP Member Support phone number on the back of your health plan ID card before you pay for the prescription.

Keep a list of your prescriptions handy. You can print off your Prescription Drug List (PDL) by going to welcometouhc.com/shbp. Review your PDL with your doctor or pharmacist regularly. You and your doctor make decisions about your prescription medications.

Understand how your medication helps you. Talk to your doctor or your pharmacist about your medications.

HRA Choice HMO HDHP

WELLNESS and Standard Plans

I have a Prescription Drug List (PDL) with tiers. (A Prescription Drug List is a list of commonly prescribed brand and generic medications placed into tiers.)

My generic medications are usually the lowest cost option. However, sometimes Brand name drugs and generics may be listed in any tier.

Most of the time1

Some brand name medications are my lowest cost option.

I pay coinsurance (after my deductible is met).

I pay copayments/coinsurance (does not apply to my deductible2).

I may be eligible for the Copayment/Coinsurance Waiver Plan (for WELLNESS Plans only).

The SHBP funds dollar credits to my HRA each year for medical and eligible pharmacy expenses.2

Your eligible pharmacy expenses will be automatically withdrawn from your HRA if remaining funds are available. (No pharmacy spending account card is needed for 2013.)

I have the opportunity to get certain 90-day supply prescriptions through mail order or network retail pharmacies.

My prescriptions for specialty medications are filled through the Specialty Pharmacy Program.

I have both in and out-of-network pharmacy benefits.

1. While generics are typically less expensive than the brand, that may not always be the case, so be sure to check prices on the website to look at all of your options or call Customer Care.

2. Please note that HRA dollar credits used for pharmacy expenses will not apply to the medical deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
