Save Time and Money with Prescriptions-by-Mail
For your convenience, you can have prescriptions mailed to you. If you are on a long-term medication, this will save you money. Prescriptions are delivered to your home in sealed, tamper-evident, discreetly labeled packaging. You pay no packaging or postal costs.
If you have a 3-Tier Pharmacy Benefit, the 3-Tier copay structure applies when you use Prescriptions-By-Mail. When you receive drugs at a retail pharmacy, you pay one copay for each 30-day supply. With Prescriptions-By-Mail, the copays are higher, but you pay only one copay for up to a 90-day supply. (See your benefit booklet for details.)
For example:
Sarah's benefit is $5/15/30 at a retail pharmacy and $10/30/60 using Prescriptions-By-Mail. She needs a 90-day supply of a Tier 2 drug for which there is no generic equivalent.
- A 30-day supply of the Tier 2 drug at a retail pharmacy has a $15 copay.
- If Sarah receives a 90-day supply of the Tier 2 drug using Prescriptions-By-Mail, she pays a single copay of $30.
- She can save $15 over 90 days by using Prescriptions-By-Mail ($45 - $30 = $15)
Important note:
Prescriptions-By-Mail service is exclusively provided by Merck-Medco Rx Services. This is the only mail order program covered under your benefit.
