Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients as their brand-name counterparts.
Generics simply cost less!
Today’s retirees are facing rising prices, fixed incomes and looking for new ways to save money. The Select Generic program is just one of many ways our plans work to help reduce drug costs for your retirees, while potentially lowering health care costs for you. Since 2009, over 3.5 million prescriptions have been filled utilizing this benefit, showing that retirees have and will appreciate it.
The Select Generic program is designed to help retirees better manage their chronic conditions and reduce out-of-pocket costs on prescription medications. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services tells us that the proper management of these conditions can significantly improve the quality of your retirees’ health.
With this program, your retirees will have access to “Select Generic” drug benefits at no cost. They will have some of the most commonly prescribed and proven generic drugs – with no copay – at any network retail or mail-order pharmacy. These Select Generics are specific drugs that have a proven track record for effectiveness and value in treating many medical conditions common among the Medicare population.
The Select Generic program, along with our focus on clinical results, patient safety, drug effectiveness and net costs, helps deliver benefit value. Contact your sales representative to learn how this prescription drug program works to help mitigate health care cost trends.
