Own Your Benefits: Could You be Saving Money on Your Prescriptions?

When a doctor writes you a prescription do you know what it’s going to cost prior to arriving at the pharmacy? Is the cost less at another pharmacy and/or less than your co-pay? Did you ask if the medication can be written as a 90-day prescription? Is there a generic available? Do you know if it is covered under your health plan? The UNI Human Resource Services Benefits Team has developed a step-by-step guide for you to follow before you have your prescription filled or re-filled. This guide can be used now with your current prescriptions or the next time you are at the doctor's office. It is simple to follow and smartphone friendly. Your health is important! Know your options and the costs.
