Prescription cost-share assistance
Cost-share assistance may be available in the form of a manufacturer coupon or copay discount card and is often available for specialty drugs.
Enrolling in a drug manufacturer’s cost-share assistance program may substantially reduce or completely cover your cost-share for a drug you are taking.
We are available to help you take advantage of this type of assistance. For many of the drugs where manufacturer cost-share assistance is available, we can:
- Provide details about the cost-share assistance available specific to your medication(s) and what your expected cost will be when you refill your prescription
- Help you enroll in the manufacturer program
- Coordinate with your pharmacy to ensure copay assistance billing information is on file
- Answer questions you may have about the program
When you choose to use this type of cost-share assistance, dollars paid by the manufacturer will not be applied to your deductible (if applicable) or out-of-pocket maximum. Only the amount you paid out of pocket with your own dollars will be applied. And you will never pay more than your existing prescription benefit copay/coinsurance.
Please note: Prescription drug benefits vary by plan. Please refer to your plan benefit booklet for additional information by logging in to the member portal at ibx.com.
