The program also includes traditional health coverage, similar to a typical health plan that protects the insured person against large medical expenses. The insured person can spend the money in the HSA account the way the insured person wants on routine medical care, prescription drugs and other qualified medical expenses. There are no copays or deductibles to satisfy first. Unused dollars can be saved from year to year to reduce the amount the insured person may have to pay in the future. If covered expenses exceed the insured person’s available HSA dollars, the traditional health coverage is available after a limited out -of-pocket amount is paid by the insured person. Certain Covered Services have maximum visit and/or day limits per year. The number of visits and/or days allowed for these services will begin accumulating on the first visit and/or day, regardless of whether your Deductible has been met. The insured person is responsible for all costs over the plan maximums. Plan maximums and other important information appear in italics. Benefits are subject to all terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the Policy. Subject to Utilization Review Certain services are subject to the utilization review program.

The program also includes traditional health coverage, similar to a typical health plan that protects the insured person against large medical expenses. The insured person can spend the money in the HSA account the way the insured person wants on routine medical care, prescription drugs and other qualified medical expenses. There are no copays or deductibles to satisfy first. Unused dollars can be saved from year to year to reduce the amount the insured person may have to pay in the future. If covered expenses exceed the insured person’s available HSA dollars, the traditional health coverage is available after a limited out-of-pocket amount is paid by the insured person. Certain Covered Services have maximum visit and/or day limits per year. The number of visits and/or days allowed for these services will begi n accumulating on the first visit and/or day, regardless of whether your deductible has been met. The insured person is responsible for all costs over the plan maximums. Plan maximums and other important information appear in italics. Benefits are subject to all terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the Policy. Subject to Utilization Review Certain services are subject to the utilization review program. Before scheduling services, the member must make sure utiliza tion review is obtained. If utilization review is not obtained, benefits may be reduced or not paid, according to the plan.

Members are not responsible for the difference between the provider's usual charges & the maximum allowed amount.

Members may be responsible for any amount in excess of the reasonable and customary value.

EmpiRx Health Member Services 877-262-7435; TDD: 1-888-907-0020 24 hours a day, 7 days a week Frequently Asked Questions How do I find a participating network pharmacy? You can use your EmpiRx Health ID card at over 68,000 pharmacies nationwide including all pharmacy chains. You can find a network pharmacy by logging onto www.empirxhealth.com or calling 877-262-7435. What is a prior authorization and why is it necessary? Certain medications require prior authorization (PA) because of their potential side effects, potentially harmful interactions with other prescription medications, or to confirm they are being prescribed in accordance with Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved indications. This process is designed to help ensure your health and safety. If a PA is needed, EmpiRx Health will work directly with your physician to obtain the necessary information prior to fulfillment. How do I find out if a particular prescription is covered by my benefits? Call 877-262-7435 to speak to a representative who can assist you with drug coverage questions or log onto www.empirxhealth.com for details. How can I find out if generic or lower cost alternatives may be available to me? Log into the member portal at www.empirxhealth.com and select “Drug Pricing.” Search your medication and if there is a generic available, you will see the cost for both the brand as well as the generic. You can also call 877-262-7435 to speak to a representative who can assist you, or consult your physician or pharmacist to determine if generic equivalents are available for your prescription. Why does my copay change from month to month? The cost of medications changes regularly and prices are not all the same at each pharmacy. If your copay is based on a percentage rather than a fixed dollar amount then depending on the pharmacy you use and the cost of the medication at the time your prescription is filled, you may see a variation in your copay amount.

Your medication can be shipped directly to: • Your home • Your work • Your doctor’s office • Or a convenient location of your choice Save with Generic Medications Generic equivalent drugs must meet the same Food & Drug Administration (FDA) standards for purity, strength, and safety as brand name drugs. They also must have the same active ingredients and identical absorption rate within the body as the brand name version. If you wish to take advantage of this savings opportunity, speak with your physician about the use of generics. You may also consult with your pharmacist regarding generic drug options that may be available to you. ID Cards If your ID card is lost, you may print a temporary card online at www.empirxhealth.com.

Direct Member Reimbursement If you must pay out-of-pocket for your medication which is covered by your plan, submit a Direct Member Reimbursement Form, which is available online at www.empirxhealth.com. You will need to provide an itemized receipt showing: the amount charged, prescription number, medication dispensed, manufacturer, dosage form, strength, quantity, and date dispensed. Your pharmacist can assist you if you do not have a detailed receipt.
