  • Designated Prescription Drug Prescribers and Pharmacies We may limit your selection of a pharmacy to a single pharmacy location and/or a single prescribing provider or practice. Those members subject to this designation include, but are not limited to, members that have a history of: • being prescribed prescription drugs by multiple providers; • having prescriptions drugs filled at multiple pharmacies; • being prescribed certain long acting opioids and other controlled substances, either in combination or separately, that suggests a need for monitoring due to: o quantities dispensed; o daily dosage range; or o the duration of therapy exceeds reasonable and established thresholds. The Amount You Pay for Prescription Drugs Our formulary includes a tiered copayment structure, which means the amount you pay for a prescription drug will vary by tier. See the Summary of Pharmacy Benefits for your copayment structure, benefit limits and the amount you pay. When you buy covered prescription drugs and diabetic equipment and supplies from a retail network pharmacy, you will be responsible for the copayment and deductible (if any) at the time of purchase. You will be responsible for paying the lower of your copayment, the retail cost of the drug, or the pharmacy allowance. Specialty prescription drugs are generally obtained from a specialty pharmacy. If you buy a specialty prescription drug from a retail network pharmacy, you will be responsible for a significantly higher out of pocket expense than if you bought the specialty drug from a specialty pharmacy. The amount you pay for the following prescription drugs is not subject to the tiered copayment structure: • Contraceptive methods; • Over-the-counter (OTC) preventive drugs; • Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and smoking cessation prescription drugs; • Infertility specialty prescription drugs; and • Covered diabetic equipment or supplies bought at a network pharmacy. See the Summary of Pharmacy Benefits for benefit limits and the amount you pay. This plan allows for medication synchronization in accordance with R.I. General Law
