Please note that if your prescription drug benefits plan changes, the information in this letter may no longer apply. A copayment is a flat fee. Coinsurance is a percentage of the rate that Aetna negotiates with the plan sponsor for covered prescriptions except as required by law to be otherwise. Some drugs on the Aetna Pharmacy Plan Drug List are subject to manufacturer rebates. Coinsurance is calculated before any rebates are subtracted. That means it may be possible for your cost of a preferred drug to be higher than your cost of a non-preferred drug. Health benefits and health insurance plans are offered, administered and/or underwritten by Aetna Health Inc., Aetna Health Insurance Company of New York, Aetna Health Insurance Company and/or Aetna Life Insurance Company (Aetna). In Florida, by Aetna Health Inc. and/or Aetna Life Insurance Company. In Maryland, by Aetna Health Inc., 151 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, CT 06156. Each insurer has sole financial responsibility for its own products. Aetna Pharmacy Management refers to an internal business unit of Aetna Health Management, LLC. Aetna Specialty Pharmacy refers to Aetna Specialty Pharmacy, LLC, a subsidiary of Aetna Inc., which is a licensed pharmacy that operates through specialty pharmacy prescription fulfillment. Not all health services are covered. See plan documents for a complete description of benefits, exclusions, limitations and conditions of coverage. Plan features and availability may vary by location and are subject to change. Split Fill Drugs listed are managed by Aetna s Specialty Health Care Management SM nurse team. Members receive the support of this team throughout the entire course of therapy. This team employs a split fill dispensing provision. This means that half of a one month s supply of medicine is filled at a time. Split fill dispensing allows the nurse team to offer more support, including more follow up to monitor response to treatment and potential reactions or side-effects. This helps prevent wasted medicine and saves members money if their medicine or dose changes between fills. This list is not all-inclusive and is subject to change. Aetna receives rebates from drug manufacturers that may be taken into account in determining the Aetna Pharmacy Plan Drug List. Rebates do not reduce the amount a member pays the pharmacy for covered prescriptions. Information is subject to change. For more information about Aetna plans, refer to www.aetna.com. The drugs on the Aetna Pharmacy Plan Drug List, Formulary Exclusions, Precertification, Quantity Limit and Step Therapy Lists are subject to change. The quantity limits and step therapy drug coverage review programs are not available in all service areas. For example, step therapy programs do not apply to fully-insured members in Indiana. Step therapy does not apply to fully-insured members in New Jersey. However, these programs are available to self-funded plans. In accordance with state law, commercial fully-insured members in Louisiana and Texas (except Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan members) who are receiving coverage for medications that are added or removed from the Aetna Pharmacy Plan Drug List, Precertification, Quantity Limits or Step-Therapy Lists during the plan year will continue to have those medications covered at the same benefit level until their plan s renewal date. In Texas, precertification approval is known as pre-service utilization review. It is not "verification" as defined by Texas law. In accordance with state law, fully-insured Commercial California HMO members (except Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan members) who are receiving coverage for medications that are added to the Precertification or Step-therapy Lists will continue to have those medications covered, for as long as the treating physician continues prescribing them, provided that the drug is appropriately prescribed and is considered safe and effective for treating the enrollee's medical condition. In accordance with state law, fully-insured Commercial Connecticut PPO members (except Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan members) who are receiving coverage for medications that are added to the Precertification or Step-therapy Lists will continue to have those medications covered for as long as the treating physician prescribes them, provided the drug is medically necessary and more medically beneficial than other covered drugs. Nothing in this section shall preclude the prescribing provider from prescribing another drug covered by the plan that is medically appropriate for the enrollee, nor shall anything in this section be construed to prohibit generic drug substitutions. This material is for information only. It contains only a partial, general description of plan benefits or programs and does not constitute a contract. See plan documents for a complete description of benefits, exclusions, limitations and conditions of coverage. Plan features and availability may vary by location and are subject to change. Providers are independent contractors and are not agents of Aetna. Provider participation may change without notice. Aetna does not provide care or guarantee access to health services. Information is subject to change. For more information about Aetna plans, refer to www.aetna.com. 2014 Aetna Inc.
