            Pharmacy benefits summary
                                            Pharmacy coverage is provided by Express Scripts and is included when
                                            you enroll in the medical plan. To receive network benefits, you must
                                            present your Express Scripts prescription identification information at
                                            participating pharmacies. If you fill a prescription at an out-of-network
                                            pharmacy, you will be required to pay the entire cost of the drug and file
                                            a claim for reimbursement (copayment and coinsurance apply). The plan
                                            also includes a program to save you money when you fill maintenance
                                            medication. See important details below.
            Prescriptions for maintenance medications

                                            We participate in Express Scripts’ Smart90 Rx program to help you save
                                            money when filling prescriptions for maintenance medication. With this
                                            program, you can fill a 90-day supply for less than three copayments.
                                            Maintenance medications are long-term medications you take regularly
                                            (i.e., for high blood pressure, cholesterol, allergies, birth control and
                                            diabetic supplies). To determine if your prescription is considered
                                            maintenance medication, contact Express Scripts or view this information
                                            at 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 retail
                                            pharmacy or through Express Scripts’ mail order program. 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.
