If you use an in-network provider, the copay for a vision exam is $15 and
the copay for materials is also $15. The materials benefit includes
glasses or contacts lenses. The contact lens benefit includes the fitting
and purchase of one pair of contact lenses, or up to six boxes of

Pharmacy benefits summary
Pharmacy coverage is included when you enroll in our medical plan.
Express Scripts is our pharmacy benefit provider. To receive network
benefits, you must present your Express Scripts prescription identification
card at participating pharmacies. If you use an out-of-network retail
pharmacy, you will be required to pay the entire cost of the drug and file
a claim for reimbursement (copayment and coinsurance apply). Our plan
also includes a program to save you money when you fill maintenance
medication. See important details below.
Prescriptions for maintenance medications
You have two options to fill your prescriptions for maintenance
medications under our copayment plan: through Express Scripts mail
order or at Walgreens through Express Scripts Smart90 Rx program.
Maintenance medications are long-term medications you take regularly.
Examples include medications for high blood pressure, cholesterol,
allergies, birth control and diabetic supplies. To determine if your
prescription is considered maintenance medication, contact Express
Scripts. You can also view this information on
Express-Scripts.com.
To benefit from the Smart90 program, ask your physician to write your
prescription for a 90-day supply and fill it at your local Walgreens. If you
fill your maintenance medication at a different pharmacy, or for a
different quantity, you will be charged 100% of the cost for the
medication.
