What is a maintenance medication?

Maintenance medications are prescriptions commonly used to treat conditions that are considered chronic or long-term. These conditions usually require regular, daily use of medicines. Examples of maintenance drugs are those used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma and diabetes.

When does the convenience fee apply?

For example, if you are covered under TRS-ActiveCare Select, the first time you fill a 31-day supply of a generic maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy you will pay $15, then you will pay $30 each month that you fill a 31-day supply of that generic maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy. A 90-day supply of that same generic maintenance medication would cost $45, and you would save $180 over the year by filling a 90-day supply.

A specialist is any physician other than family practitioner, internist, OB/GYN or pediatrician.

1 Illustrates benefits when in-network providers are used. For some plans non-network benefits are also available; there is no coverage for non-network benefits under the TRS-ActiveCare Select or TRS-ActiveCare Select Whole Health Plan; see Enrollment Guide for more information. Non-contracting providers may bill for amounts exceeding the allowable amount for covered services. Participants will be responsible for this balance bill amount, which maybe considerable.

2 For TRS-ActiveCare 1-HD, certain generic preventive drugs are covered at 100%. Participants do not have to meet the deductible ($2,750 – individual, $5,500 – family) and they pay nothing out of pocket for these drugs. Find the list of drugs at info.caremark.com/trsactivecare.

3 If a participant obtains a brand-name drug when a generic equivalent is available, they are responsible for the generic copay plus the cost difference between the brand-name drug and the generic drug.

4 If the cost of the drug is less than the minimum, you will pay the cost of the drug.

5 Participants can fill 32-day to 90-day supply through mail order.
