Generic vs. Brand
When members elect to purchase brand name drugs that have
generic equivalents, they will be required to pay a higher copay plus
a penalty. The penalty is the difference in cost between the brand
and the generic drug. The additional penalty does not apply to those
prescriptions that are issued by your doctor as Dispense as Written
(DAW). This means if your doctor requires you to have the brand
name as opposed to the generic then you will not be charged the
penalty. Generic drugs usually cost less than brand name medications
and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rates them to be
just as safe and effective as brand name drugs. So, if your doctor
prescribes a brand name medication, ask if you could use a generic
drug instead before you ill your prescription at a pharmacy. If not,
ask your doctor to write your prescription as “Dispense as Written.”
