    SCRIPT CARE

    Eligibility
    Full-Time employees become eligible for prescription drug coverage upon enrollment in the medical plan.

    Costs
    Employees pay 40% of the retail cost for a 30-day supply for prescriptions purchased at participating pharmacies. This is called coinsurance. The minimum coinsurance is $20 and the maximum is $100 for a 30-day supply.

    Need a Replacement ID Card?
    Your prescription ID card is the same card that you use for medical coverage.
    Call PCHP at 947-4463 or Log-in to the PCHP Member Portal to print out a temporary card or request a new ID card.

    You Can $$$ave  on some medications by using programs offered by retailers such as Walmart's $4 Prescription Program - most pharmacies have a similar program.  If your prescription is covered under this type of program, do not show your prescription ID card. 
    For example:  Walmart's $4 program cost is less than the City's $20 co-pay.

    Mandatory Mail Order
    Employees can get a prescription filled 3 times at a retail pharmacy before they must use Mail Order. Mail Order is required for prescriptions that are taken on a long-term or on-going basis. To begin ordering your prescriptions through mail order, contact Drug Source.  Drug Source fills the mail-order prescriptions for Script Care and their number is 1-800-854-8764. Their hours are 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. central time. If you need a mail-order Rx, you can either call Drug Source directly at the preceding number, or call Script Care, who in turn will transfer you to Drug Source.

    Mail Order Tips

    •   Don't wait until you run out of medication to place your mail order. 

    •   If you are mailing in a prescription for a newly prescribed medication, ask your physician
         to write two prescriptions: one for a 30-day supply to get you started (to be filled at
        your local pharmacy), and one for a 90-day supply plus additional refills to be submitted
        for mail order.

    •  Ask for a generic - Employees choosing a brand name when a generic is available 
        must pay the difference in the cost.
