Exclusive Home Delivery Program
The University's prescription drug plan includes an "exclusive home delivery" program. The Exclusive Home Delivery Program pertains to maintenance medications, or prescription drugs for ongoing conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
Under the Exclusive Home Delivery Program, employees can fill a prescription of a maintenance medication up to 2 times at a retail pharmacy such as CVS, Wal-Mart, or Kroger. After that, the University's health plan will cover the medication only if it is ordered the Express Scripts Mail Order Pharmacy.
Express Scripts Generic Preferred Program
The University's prescription drug plan includes a "generics preferred" program. When employees or family members need a new prescription or a refill for a brand-name drug, the pharmacist will check whether a generic drug is available instead. If a generic is available, employees are encouraged to utilize the generic option. If the employee chooses to use the brand-name instead of the generic, the employee will be charged the full cost difference between the generic and the brand-name drug. If there is no generic available, the employee will be charged the normal brand name copay.
