Using Your Prescription Drug Plan
WHO'S IN THE EXPRESS SCRIPTS NETWORK?
For a list of participating network pharmacies, contact Express Scripts. (See Contact Information.)
Prescription drug services for KingCareSM members are provided by Express Scripts, a pharmacy benefit manager that isn't affiliated with Aetna. Express Scripts contracts with pharmacies that participate in its nationwide network. The network includes all major chain pharmacies and most independent pharmacies, as well as a mail-order service, which have agreed to dispense covered prescription drugs to plan members at a discounted cost and not to bill plan members for any amounts over the copays.
Express Scripts issues a separate prescription card to KingCareSM members to use when filling prescriptions at network pharmacies or through the Express Scripts mail-order pharmacy. If you don't show your prescription card, the network pharmacy cannot confirm that you're covered through Express Scripts. In this case, you'll need to pay the pharmacy in full and submit a claim to Express Scripts for reimbursement.
You may receive up to a 30-day supply from a retail network pharmacy. You may receive a 30-day, 60-day or 90-day supply per prescription or refill through the mail-order service. If you use the mail-order service, you pay the 90-day copay even if your prescription is written for less than a 90-day supply. (For plan benefits, see "KingCareSM Benefits at a Glance.")
