Your drug coverage

Your drug list, also called a formulary, is the list of medicines covered by your plan. Use the drug search tool below to search by name and see any notes, like if a drug needs approval or has limits.

Covered drugs are grouped by cost tiers. Generic drugs usually cost less than brand or specialty drugs. Your copay or coinsurance depends on the tier.

The formulary can change each year. Updates that start on January 1. They are shown on the formulary changes grid. You can also find the full drug list on the forms and documents page. Select Illinois from the dropdown menu and type "formulary changes" in the search.

Prescriptions are covered at in-network pharmacies. Out-of-network coverage may be limited to emergencies or urgent needs. If you have trouble at the pharmacy, please do not pay for the prescription. Contact us for help.

Members get their drug benefits through CVS Caremark and can look up covered medicines using the online formulary and drug search tool below. Members may have prescriptions filled at any in-network pharmacy: Find a Pharmacy.

We can mail many long-term medicines to members, usually arriving within 10 days. Members can order by mail, by calling the FastStart number, or by having their doctor send in the prescription.

CVS Caremark provides drug benefits for your health plan. To see if your drug is covered, use the drug lookup tool below or view your state’s Drug List.

• Your cost depends on the drug and your plan benefits.
• Your plan has a network of Mail Order pharmacies that can process and dispense up to 90 days' supply of eligible medications.
• A 90-day supply may cost three (3) times your one-month copay or coinsurance.
• Your plan’s network also offers 90-day fill at network retail pharmacies. If you are looking for retail pharmacies that participate in the 90-day fill at retail program, participating pharmacies will show “90-day Supply Available” in the details of your search results.
• Outside your service area, drugs are covered for emergencies only.
