8 Prescriptions The pharmacy benefit is part of the basic medical coverage. It is subject to deductible and coinsurance, as any other covered service or treatment. There are no co-pays in the CDHPs. Mail order program for convenience of home delivery is available continued

9 More RX information… The full cost of a prescription will be paid first from the HRA account, and if funds are exhausted, the cost will be part of the Member Responsibility. Once the deductible is met, the plan will pay 80% and the member will pay the 20% coinsurance up to the Out of Pocket Maximum.
