Out-of-network Pharmacy Coverage

Get to know the extent of your plan’s coverage of prescription medicine purchase outside of the pharmacy network.

Usually, we only cover drugs obtained from an out-of-network pharmacy in limited circumstances:

  • When you travel out of the plan’s service area.

  • If you lose or you lack your medication, or get sick and need a covered drug immediately and you do not have access to a network pharmacy.

  • If you cannot obtain a covered drug in your service area in a timely manner due to lack of availability of a network pharmacy.

  • If your covered drug is provided in an out-of-network pharmacy while you are in an emergency room, in a provider’s clinic, outpatient surgery, or in another facility.

  • If a covered prescription is not in inventory at an accessible in-network retail pharmacy.

For detailed information consult your plan’s Evidence of Coverage (Chapter 5, Using the plan’s coverage for your Part D prescription drugs, Section 2.4 “When can you use a pharmacy that is not in the plan’s network?”) or call our Member Services.

Please note that if you do go to an out-of-network pharmacy, you may have to pay the full cost (rather than paying just your copay) when you fill your prescription. You can request a reimbursement for our share of the cost by submitting a claim form. You should submit a claim to us if you fill a prescription at an out-of-network pharmacy, as any amount you pay will help you qualify for catastrophic coverage.
