                                                To use the mail order program, ask your physician to write a prescription for a
                                                90-day supply with refills (as appropriate) and send it to Express Scripts.
                                                Otherwise, obtain the order a mail order form from Express-Scripts.com and
                                                follow the instructions for mailing your prescriptions and copayment to
                                                Express Scripts.
                                                Prescription medication tiers
                                                Express Script’s categorizes prescription medications as Tier 1 (generic), Tier 2
                                                (preferred brand), or Tier 3 (non-preferred brand). The cost of the medication
                                                is not a primary factor in its tier classification. The tier classification of a
                                                medication may change periodically. You can find up-to-date prescription
                                                medication tiers on Express-Scripts.com; by using the Express Scripts mobile
                                                app, or by contacting Express Scripts’ customer service.

                                                Generic vs. brand-name prescription medications
                                                When a medication is available in generic form (Tier 1), but your physician
                                                prescribes the brand-name medication (Tier 2 or Tier 3), you’ll be charged the
                                                generic copayment plus the difference in cost between the generic and
                                                brand-name medication.

                                                If you request a brand-name drug when the physician approves an available
                                                generic drug, you’ll be charged the brand copay plus the difference in cost
                                                between the prescribed brand-name medication and its generic (Tier 1)
                                                equivalent.

                                                Some prescription medications are available only through the specialty
