The Prescription Drug Plan rules for eligibility and information on maintaining coverage is the same as those for the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP)

• The prescription drug program is separate from your medical plan
• The program is managed by Caremark on behalf of Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey
• Most pharmacies in New Jersey participate in the program
• If you use a non-participating pharmacy, you must file a claim for reimbursement.  You can obtain prescription drug reimbursement forms from the Department of Human Resources or at:  www.caremark.com
• Eligibility begins and ends on the same date as your health plan coverage
• Benefits are available through a participating retail pharmacy, the plans designated mail order service, or from a participating specialty pharmaceutical provider
• Normally, retail pharmacy co-payment amounts are for a 30-fay supply.  However, you may obtain up to a 90-day supply of your prescription drug.  To do so, you must pay two co-payments for a 31-60 day supply or three co-payments for a 61-90 day supply
• Mail order benefits are available where participants can receive up to a 90 day supply of prescription drugs for one co-payment.
