How the 3-Tier Drug Plan Works:
All prescription drugs fall into one of three tiers, or levels. The tiers represent the level of cost a member will pay:
Tier 1 - Generic drugs
($ - lowest out-of-pocket cost)
Tier 2 - Preferred brand name drugs
($$ - higher out-of-pocket cost)
Tier 3 - Non-preferred brand name drugs
($$$ - highest out-of-pocket cost)

Important notes:

  • Tiers 1 and 2 are preferred drugs, which means you will pay the lowest copays. Tier 3 drugs are non-preferred, which means they are covered by your pharmacy benefits, but you will pay the highest copay.

  • Not all prescription drugs are listed. If you cannot find a particular drug, or if you have questions, please call our pharmacy claims processor, Argus Health Systems, Inc. (Argus) at (800) 241-3371.

  • For more information, read our Frequently Asked Questions section.

  • For groups who have a 4 Tier plan, please note that self-injectables are not noted as Tier 4 in our on-line drug search.
