Prescriptions
The Aetna prescription drug program
Your Student Health Insurance Plan offers a prescription drug program through Aetna to make it convenient for you to fill your prescriptions. With the Aetna Prescription Drug Program, you have access to more than 60,000 participating (preferred) pharmacies throughout the country, in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Most major chain drug stores are included in our national pharmacy network. It’s likely that your local pharmacy participates in our network.
Filling your prescriptions and refills is easy
When you take your prescription to an Aetna participating (preferred) pharmacy, there is no claim to file when you present your identification card. If you do pay for a prescription, you may be eligible for a reimbursement, less any applicable copay amount. Please check your Plan Design and Benefits Summary. Please review your plan documents for information on your specific Plan of benefits, including covered and excluded drugs, applicable copays, a list of participating (preferred) pharmacies and claim forms.
Under health care reform, you can get some preventive drugs and products with no member cost share. This means they are covered 100% by your plan. This list shows some common examples.
Save with generic drugs
Your prescription may be filled with a generic drug. A generic drug contains the same active ingredients in the same amount as the corresponding brand-name drug. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that generic drugs meet the same strict manufacturing standards for strength, purity and quality as brand-name drugs. Ask your doctor to allow a substitution, if appropriate, whenever you get a prescription. If your doctor has prescribed a brand-name drug, ask your pharmacist whether there is a generic equivalent.
