Prescriptions

What is covered?

All Covered California health plans have prescription drug coverage. Check with your health insurance company to make sure your prescription is covered. They’re classified in four tiers: generic, preferred, non-preferred and specialty. Different metal tiers have different prices for each drug tier.

Each health plan has its own formulary, or list of covered medications.  

How do I get my prescription filled?

For questions about medications and getting your prescription drugs filled, the first step is to contact your health insurance company to see if it has received your first payment and can issue you a membership ID card or a health insurance plan identification number. Ask which pharmacies you can use in order to get the pharmacy benefits of your health insurance plan.
