Rating of the Drug Plan

By: Anna Peterson Sanders, PharmD, BCGP, Medicare pharmacist at Network Health

At Network Health, we pride ourselves on giving members with prescription coverage a fantastic drug plan. With access to many medications, preferred retail pharmacies and our very own in-house pharmacists, we bring you a local, hometown approach with a focus on customer service. We are a cut above the rest.

Did you know…

1. Our open formulary covers almost 96 percent of Part D drugs. In comparison, our bigger competitors cover between 55-60 percent of drugs.

We want to ensure our members have access to a variety of treatment options and are not burdened by a lack of coverage on their drug plan.

2. Consistency is our goal. We are very conservative on our approach to changes to the drug plan, always bringing into consideration impact and cost to you. This helps to keep us consistent each year and offer our members the lowest-cost products available.

3. You have access to over 35,000 preferred pharmacies, including most of our local, independent pharmacies. Other insurance plans often come with pharmacy restrictions, but we allow you to receive a 90-day supply of medications either through a retail store or mail order and we do not mandate mail order use. It is important to us that our members can easily obtain their medications without the additional burden of restricting pharmacy options.

4. You have direct access to a Network Health pharmacist. Whether it be through phone or email, you are be able to speak with a pharmacist here at Network Health. Our pharmacists come from diverse career backgrounds, allowing us to provide you with expertise and knowledge in a variety of areas. They are the experts of our drug formulary, which is helpful for navigating treatment options that may come at a lower cost. Last year alone, our pharmacists were able to save our members over $500,000.

5. Our pharmacists also provide medication reviews, free of charge, and tackle questions from medication costs and alternatives to drug interactions to financial assistance. Our pharmacists are here to help arm you with the information you need to make an informed decision. If you receive a letter in the mail regarding this program, call our pharmacists directly at 920-720-1287 or email pharmacist@networkhealth.com to ensure you are getting the most out of your Network Health prescription benefit.
