I understand that a Maintenance Medication Program exists, but where do I find information on which drugs are considered maintenance and which retail pharmacies participate in the Program?
A. During the Benefits Choice Period, you may obtain this information by calling Medco at 800-899-2587, accessing our Website: www.benefitschoice.il.gov, or calling our office at 800-442-1300. If you are enrolled in one of the plans that have this benefit, beginning July 1, you may register on Medco’s website www.Medco.com to obtain additional prescription information. Q. Under the Maintenance Medication Program, I am supposed to obtain my maintenance medication from Medco’s Mail Order Pharmacy or a Retail Maintenance Network pharmacy. What will happen if I don’t use either of these? A. Maintenance medication may be obtained from any pharmacy, at differing copays. To obtain the best benefit, maintenance medications should be obtained from Medco’s mail order pharmacy or a Retail Maintenance Network pharmacy; you receive a 3-month supply of medication for 2 copayments.
