Get Your Membership Off to a Quick Start!

Welcome to SCAN! We know you probably have a few questions about what to do next. This helpful video explains what you need to do to get started with your new plan.

We’ve outlined the things for you to know, do or be on the lookout for in the time before or soon after your membership begins.

Once you receive your SCAN member ID card and your membership takes effect, show your SCAN ID card at the doctor’s office, pharmacy and anywhere you receive care or service.

Connect to Care

Primary Care Team Icon Did you choose a new doctor? It’s a good idea to schedule a get-to-know-you appointment so that you can meet your doctor and his or her staff and to let your doctor know about any health concerns you have.

If you’re keeping your current doctor, be sure to see your doctor every year for an annual exam. The earlier in the year, the better!

Connect to Your Prescriptions

Pill Bottle Icon If there are medications you take regularly, you can look them up in the SCAN Formulary. This is a list of drugs covered by your plan. If there are any special instructions for your medications, you’ll find these in the Formulary as well. For example, “PA” stands for “prior authorization,” which means your doctor will need to get the medication approved first—good to know before you need a refill!

It’s also good to know where to get your prescriptions filled and where to find the lowest prices on your medications. Find this and more information on your pharmacy benefits here.

Check Your Benefits

Briefcase Icon It’s important that you check and understand your benefits so that you’ll know exactly what your plan covers—before you need it.

Read about your benefits, like hearing and vision, in these plan materials:

Summary of Benefits – an overview of your coverage
Evidence of Coverage – detailed description of your benefits and other important plan information
Formulary – an up-to-date list of covered drugs, searchable by drug name
Provider and pharmacy directory – a searchable list of doctors and pharmacies in the SCAN network

Remember: Your specific plan materials are available at your fingertips when you register a member account. If you prefer a printed copy of any of the above, contact SCAN Member Services.
