Coverage is different in the HSA option
If you are enrolled in the HSA option, your prescription drug coverage is different. Visit the HSA option page for prescription drug information that applies to you.
Brand Penalty
A brand penalty is what you pay if you choose to fill your prescription with the brand name drug instead of the available direct generic version. The penalty amount is the difference between what the brand name drug costs and what the generic drug costs.
If you are prescribed a drug that does not have a generic version and is not on the indirect generic list, you will not be charged the brand penalty for filling that brand name drug.
Save Money with Generics
Generic drugs may look a little different than the brand name prescriptions, but they are just as effective, and they consist of identical ingredients in the same formulation. Plus, every ingredient that goes into a generic drug must be approved by the FDA.
If your pharmacy fills a brand name medication for any reason and a generic is available, you will pay the difference between the brand name and the generic, plus the brand coinsurance.
Save money and go generic the next time you’re at the pharmacy.
