Three-Tier Program

Covered medications are categorized into one of three tiers. Copayments are determined by the tier in which the drug is assigned, for up to a 30-day supply per prescription or refill.

  • Tier 1 is primarily made up of generic drugs and select brand-name drugs that the plan has determined to be more effective, less costly or to have fewer side effects than similar medications. Members pay the lowest copayment or coinsurance amount for Tier 1.
  • Tier 2 is primarily made up of brand-name drugs, and higher cost generic drugs.
  • Tier 3 is made up of drugs that the plan has not included in Tier 1 or Tier 2. Members pay the highest copayment or coinsurance amount for Tier 3 drugs.
