Own Your Benefits: Cost Savings with Mail Order Prescriptions

Avoid going to the pharmacy by having your maintenance medications conveniently mailed to your home by using CVS Caremark's Rx Mail Order Service. Utilizing this service saves you money as a 90 day supply will only cost you two prescription copayments, instead of three. This service saves you time as you can enjoy the convenience of not driving to the pharmacy and confirming your refills on your own time, at your own convenience.

Own Your Benefits: Important COVID-19 Update: End of Public Health Emergency

The Biden administration announced it intends to end the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) declared by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on May 11, 2023. The ending of the PHE will affect the coverage we’ve experienced for COVID-related services and products. Effective May 12, 2023 you will now be responsible for paying out-of-pocket costs for over-the-counter tests.


Remember, employees who have established a healthcare flexible spending account (FSA), can also use FSA dollars to purchase COVID-19 tests.


At this time you can still obtain four free at-home tests through COVIDtests.gov. Vaccinations related to COVID-19 will continue to be covered at no cost to you. If you have questions about these changes, please contact the Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield customer service number on the back of your ID card.
