At SCAN, it’s important that using your prescription drug benefits is always easy. If you are looking for ways to save on prescription medications, try these tips and tools to best use your SCAN plan to help you save money on the medications you need.

Prescription Money Saving Tip #1: Use the SCAN Formulary

Make sure your medications are on your Medicare Advantage plan’s formulary (list of covered drugs).

To use the SCAN formulary go to scanhealthplan.com/findadrug, type your medication in the search box and then look for the following information related to the prescription drugs covered by your plan:

●What drug tier is the medication on? Here are the different tiers that are listed in the SCAN Formulary:


○Drug Tier 1: Preferred Generic
○Drug Tier 2: Generic
○Drug Tier 3: Preferred Brand
○Drug Tier 4: Non-Preferred Drug
○Drug Tier 5: Specialty Tier

●Are alternative medications listed in the SCAN Formulary? If so, check with your doctor to see if the less-expensive drug will work for you.

Prescription Money Saving Tip #2: Use SCAN Health Plan Preferred pharmacies

For the lowest copays, fill your prescriptions at a pharmacy in SCAN’s Preferred network. With most SCAN Medicare Advantage plans, there is a $0 copay for medications on Tier 1 and Tier 2 at SCAN Preferred pharmacies.

Prescription Money Saving Tip: #3: Use three-month prescription refills

Ask your doctor for a three-month prescription of drugs you take regularly. By filling a three-month prescription, you will save on most of your prescription medications.

Prescription Money Saving Tip #4: Use prescription home delivery

For low prices on prescriptions and more convenience on the medications you take regularly, use prescription home delivery from Express Scripts® Pharmacy. In addition to Preferred pharmacy pricing and three-month supplies, Express Scripts offers free standard shipping of prescription medications right to your door. To get started with prescription home delivery, call 1-866-553-4125 (TTY: 1-800-899-2114).

Are you a SCAN Connections (HMO-SNP) member? If so, your covered medications are $0 at any SCAN network pharmacy. (As part of the Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) program.)
