PrudentRx Copay Program for Specialty Medications The Plan participates in the CVS PrudentRx Copay Program (“PrudentRx Copay Program”) for certain specialty medications, Participant enrollment in the PrudentRx Copay Program becomes effective after the participant has met the enrollment requirements, outlined below. The PrudentRx Copay Program helps participants who enroll in manufacturer copay assistance programs. Medications in the specialty tier are subject to a 30% co-insurance. Participants enrolled in the PrudentRx Copay Program who get a copay card for their specialty medication (if applicable), will have a $0 out-of-pocket responsibility for their covered prescriptions under the PrudentRx Copay Program. Copay assistance is a process in which drug manufacturers provide financial support to patients by covering all or most of the patient cost share for select medications, particularly specialty medications. The PrudentRx Copay Program will assist members in obtaining copay assistance from drug manufacturers to reduce a participant’s cost share for eligible medications, thereby reducing out-of- pocket expenses. Participation in the program requires certain data to be shared with the administrators of these copay assistance programs. Any data sharing is done in compliance with HIPAA. If you or a covered family member are not currently taking but will start a new medication covered under the PrudentRx Copay Program, you can contact PrudentRx, or they will proactively contact you to enroll. PrudentRx can be reached at 1-800-578-4403 to address any questions regarding the PrudentRx Copay Program. The Plan may periodically update the PrudentRx Copay Program Drug List.
