Does my new plan cover my prescriptions?Your plan will help pay the cost of certain prescriptions. You may be able to buy other medications, but those on your plan’s list of covered drugs (formulary) will usually be less expensive. Visit your insurance company’s website (or call them directly), and review your Summary of Benefits and Coverage for a list of covered drugs.
