Coverage of Non-Sedating Antihistamines
Brand non-sedating antihistamine drugs are paid as Tier 3, regardless of the drug’s formulary status of preferred or non-preferred drug. For example, if you prefer to take the medication Clarinex rather than buying Claritin over the counter, youwill pay the Tier 3 copayment.
Retail Refill Limit
The Prescription Drug Program will maintain a Retail Refill Limit policy. The retail refill limit requires that you use the mail-orderpharmacy if you are prescribed a maintenance medication, rather than refilling multiple prescriptions for the same drug at aretail pharmacy. If you or a covered dependent receives a prescription for a maintenance medication and you do not use themail-order pharmacy, your prescriptions may not be covered.
In some circumstances, you may not be required to use the mail-order pharmacy. For example, there are several categoriesof medications that are uniquely appropriate for multiple refills at your local pharmacy (and are therefore exempt from themandatory mail-order provision, as outlined above). If you have a prescription for any of the following medications, thePrescription Drug Program allows you to receive multiple refills at your local retail pharmacy:
• Anti-infectives, including antibiotics (Amoxicillin, Biaxin), antivirals (Zovirax, Famvir), antifungals (Diflucan), and drops used in the eyes and ears (Polsporin Opth, Cipro Otic). Please note that drops must be prescribed specifically to treat infection. For example, glaucoma drops are not covered.
• Prescription cough medications, including Phenergan with Codeine, Tessalon, and Tussionex.
• Medications to treat acute pain, both narcotic (Vicodin, Percodan, etc.) and non-narcotic (Darvocet). Please note thatlong-term pain medications, such as NSAIDs, do not meet the necessary retail requirements.
• Medications that require a new written prescription each time you need them, as refills are prohibited by federal law (e.g., Percodan, Ritalin, and Nembutal).
• Medications used to treat both attention deficit disorder (Ritalin, Cylert) and narcolepsy (Dexedrine).

Up to a 90-day supply
Keep in mind, the retail pharmacy program allows for a total of three fills of a maintenance medication at a retailpharmacy (one original fill and two refills). Additional fills will not be covered by the Plan. Each fill can be for nomore than a 30-day supply. Note that you are allowed a total of three fills, even if each is for less than 30 days.

Generic Substitution RequirementGeneric medications and their brand-name counterparts have the same active ingredients and are manufactured accordingto the same strict federal regulations. Generic drugs may differ in color, size, or shape, but the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration (FDA) requires that the active ingredients have the same strength, purity, and quality as their brand-namecounterparts. For this reason, the Plan will cover the cost of the generic equivalent if you purchase a brand-namemedication when there is a generic available. You will be charged the generic copayment and the cost differencebetween the brand-name and the generic medication. If you have questions or concerns about generic medication,speak to your physician or your pharmacist, and he or she will be able to help you.
Refilling Mail-Order PrescriptionsSince your medication can take 7 to 11 days to be delivered, you should have at least a 14-day supply of that medicationon hand to hold you over. If you do not have enough medication, you may need to ask your doctor for another prescriptionfor a 14-day supply that you can fill at your local retail network pharmacy.
Prescriptions Filled At A Nonparticipating Pharmacy If you go to a retail pharmacy that is not part of the Medco network, you must pay the full cost of the prescription and thensubmit a direct reimbursement claim form to Medco. You will be reimbursed for the amount the medication would have costyour Plan at a participating pharmacy minus the copayment you would have paid.
Your Plan May Have Coverage LimitsYour plan may have certain coverage limits. For example, prescription drugs used for cosmetic purposes may not becovered, or a medication might be limited to a certain amount (such as the number of pills or total dosage) within a specifictime period.
If you submit a prescription for a drug that has coverage limits, your pharmacist will tell you that approval is needed beforethe prescription can be filled. The pharmacist will give you or your doctor a toll-free number to call. If you use Medco ByMail, your doctor will be contacted directly.
When a coverage limit is triggered, more information is needed to determine whether your use of the medication meets yourplan’s coverage conditions. We will notify you and your doctor of the decision in writing. If coverage is approved, the letterwill indicate the amount of time for which coverage is valid. If coverage is denied, an explanation will be provided, alongwith instructions on how to submit an appeal.

PRESCRIPTION DRUG BENEFITS
When you enroll in one of our medical Plan options for Empire BCBS, CIGNA, Aetna, or UnitedHealthcare,you’ll automatically have prescription drug coverage through the Medco Prescription Drug Program. Thisprogram includes a Formulary Management Program, which uses a “three-tier” copayment approach tocovered drugs and is designed to control costs for you and the Plan. The formulary includes all FDA-approveddrugs, which have been placed in tiers based on their clinical effectiveness, safety, and cost.
• Tier 1 includes primarily generic drugs (smallest copayment)
• Tier 2 includes preferred drugs (middle copayment)
• Tier 3 includes non-preferred drugs and all non-sedating antihistamines (highest copayment)
PRESCRIPTION DRUG BENEFITS
Your Plan May Have Coverage Limits
Your Plan may have certain coverage limits. For example, prescription drugs used for cosmetic purposes may not be covered,or a medication might be limited to a certain amount (such as the number of pills or total dosage) within a specific time period.
If you submit a prescription for a drug that has coverage limits, your pharmacist will tell you that approval is needed before theprescription can be filled. The pharmacist will give you or your doctor a toll-free number to call. If you use Medco By Mail, yourdoctor will be contacted directly.
When a coverage limit is triggered, more information is needed to determine whether your use of the medication meets yourPlan’s coverage conditions. We will notify you and your doctor of the decision in writing. If coverage is approved, the letter willindicate the amount of time for which coverage is valid. If coverage is denied, an explanation will be provided, along withinstructions on how to submit an appeal.
Additional Information
It is always up to you and your doctor to decide which prescriptions are best for you. You are never required to use genericdrugs or drugs that are on the Medco formulary list. If you prefer, you can use non-formulary brand-name drugs and pay ahigher copayment.
It is also important to note that drugs included on the formulary list are routinely updated. To find the most up-to-date list ofcovered drugs, visit Medco at www.medco.com, or call their member services department at (800) 841-3361. It should benoted that all drugs listed on the formulary may not be covered due to Plan exclusions and limitations. You can also useMedco’s website or member services telephone number to locate the retail pharmacy nearest you.
Paper Claim Reimbursements
If you use a non-participating pharmacy, you must pay the full price and file a claim for reimbursement. You will be reimbursedaccording to what the Plan would have paid at a participating pharmacy, less your applicable copayment. See the “PharmacyBenefits” section of your Plan Handbook for more information about filing claims for reimbursement for prescription drugspurchased at non-participating retail pharmacies.
The Episcopal Church Medical Trust Prescription Drug Benefit Fact Sheet
Administered by Medco
With The Episcopal Church Medical Trust Prescription Drug Benefit, members and their dependents covered by this prescription benefit can use either retail or Medco’s mail service pharmacies. The benefit covers most prescription drugs plus insulin and some over-the-counter (OTC) diabetic supplies. Certain prescription medications are subject to quantity limitations or require prior authorization for continued use. Retail pharmacy service: Retail pharmacy service is most convenient when filling short-term prescription needs. For example, if you need an antibiotic to treat an infection, you can go to one of the many pharmacies that participate in the Medco network. − Up to a 30 day supply of medication can be obtained from retail pharmacies. − Find a participating pharmacy at www.medco.com or by calling 800-841-3361. Medco mail service: Members that need medication on an ongoing basis, such as to treat asthma or diabetes, can ask their doctor to prescribe up to a 90 day supply, plus refills. These medications can be supplied by Medco’s mail service pharmacy. Medications are shipped to you by standard delivery at no additional cost. − You can track your prescription online and order
refills at www.medco.com or by calling 800-841-3361.
− Registered pharmacists are available around-the-clock for medication consultations.
Member co-payments for prescriptions Episcopal Church Medical Trust members pay the following co-payments for prescriptions.
$50 Annual Retail Individual Deductible Retail Pharmacies Medco By
Mail Generic drugs $10 $25 Formulary or plan-preferred brand drugs $30 $70 Non-formulary or non-preferred brand drugs $50 $120
Limitations and prior authorization requirements: Some medications are covered by your benefit only for certain uses or in certain quantities. For example, a medication may not be covered when it is used for cosmetic purposes or a quantity may be limited to certain amounts over certain time periods. The pharmacy will let you know if additional information is required to authorize coverage of your prescription. Retail Refill Allowance: For a prescription that you take on a long-term basis (3 months or more), you may use a participating retail pharmacy for up to three refills (the original fill and two refills), for up to a 30 day supply each time. If you remain on that medication, you must order subsequent fills through Medco By Mail, or pay the entire cost of the medication at the retail pharmacy.
Up to a 90 day supply of
medication from Medco’s mail service
Prescriptions filled for 3 month supplies at mail only need to be refilled every 90 days
Member Pays the Difference: If a brand name prescription drug is dispensed when a generic drug version of the same drug is available, the member will be required to pay the generic co-pay plus the difference in the cost between the brand name drug and the generic. How can members get more information about their Rx benefit? 1. Call the Medco member services at 800-841-3361. Visit
www.medco.com on the Internet o Register using your member ID, which is on your
prescription ID card. o Order and track status of mail service prescriptions o Compare pricing for brand and generic drugs o Review your prescription history & expenses o Look up Episcopal Church Medical Trust specific
benefit guidelines o Print mail service order forms o Locate participating retail pharmacies o Get information from Medco’s health and wellness information, tools and resources o Shop for non-prescription (OTC) and other drugstore items
Medco’s Specialty Pharmacy Service: The Medco specialty pharmacy service is designed to help Episcopal Church Medical Trust members and dependents meet the particular challenges of using certain medications, many of which require injection or special handling. Examples of specialty medications include Betaseron, Avonex, Copaxone, Enbrel, Humira, Rebetrol, Peg-Intron, and others. If you are on one of these or another specialty medication, you can receive additional services when you fill your specialty prescriptions via the Medco specialty pharmacy service, including: − Support and guidance from Medco nurses and pharmacists who are trained in these
medications, their side effects, and the conditions they treat. − Expedited delivery of all your specialty prescription medications to your home or if needed,
doctor's office. − Supplemental supplies, such as needles and syringes that are required to administer the
medication, at no additional charge. − Scheduling of refills and coordination of services with home care providers, case managers,
and doctors or other healthcare professionals. Common questions: − What is a formulary?
A formulary is a list of generic and brand-name drugs that are preferred by your plan. This list offers you choice while helping to keep the cost of your prescription drug benefit affordable.
− Are generic drugs safe?
Generic drugs may have unfamiliar names, but they are safe and effective. Be assured that generic drugs and their brand-name counterparts have the same active ingredients and are manufactured according to the same strict federal regulations. Prescriptions filled with generic drugs often have lower co-payments. Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether a generic version of your medication is available and whether it would be right for you.
