dotted line

The more informed you are about your medication choices, the better equipped you’ll be to make financially sound health decisions. Because we’re committed to helping you learn as much as you can about your medications, we encourage you to review the following:

  • Preferred Medication List - to understand how you and your doctor can choose generic and brand medications that may save you money.


  • RxPrice Guide - to understand the cost of your prescriptions.


  • Prior Authorization List - to understand which medications need special approval.


  • Generic Medications - to help control rising health care costs.


  • ConsumerRx Summaries - member-friendly information about medication choices, why we prior-authorize certain medications and the possible benefits of taking those medications.
