Drug tiers
We organize our covered prescription drugs into Generics, Preferred Brand Name, Non-preferred Brand Name, Preferred Specialty and Non-preferred Specialty, which are known as tiers. The amount you pay for a drug depends on the tier. In general, the lower the drug tier, the less you pay.

Helping you manage your prescriptions

Available to members with complex health conditions who need specialty drugs, including oral, inhaled, injected and infused drugs. This program also offers personalized support, convenient delivery, digital tools and more.
Available to members at no cost, this comprehensive medication-therapy management program allows you to speak directly with a clinical pharmacist over the phone or via video chat to get help managing your medication therapy and lifestyle choices so you can reach your health goals.
For FEP Blue Standard members who switch to a generic medication, we’ll waive your cost share for your first four prescription fills or refills.
View and download the Generic Incentive Program Drug List to see if there’s an alternative generic drug that can appropriately treat your condition.
Discounts may vary, but members can save an average of 24% off some prescription drugs not covered by our pharmacy benefits.

Your pharmacy coverage works outside the U.S., too*
Since there are no in-network retail pharmacies overseas, you need to pay for your prescriptions out-of-pocket and then submit your receipts and a completed claim form to get reimbursed. Overseas prescription drug claims must be submitted within one year of the purchase date.
