Need medicine? Your pharmacy benefits include a wide range of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to keep you as healthy as you can be.

Medicine your plan covers

Medicine your plan covers

Prescription medicine

We cover prescription medicine when you:

  • Have a prescription for a medicine on our formulary (preferred drug list or PDL)
  • Have a prescription that is medically necessary — you need it to manage a health condition
  • Fill the prescription at a network pharmacy (Walgreens isn’t in our network)

You can check the formulary. 

Formulary (PDF)

You can also use the formulary search tool. Search by the name or type of medicine. 
 

  • Status (on the formulary)
  • Generic versions of the same medicine
  • Any requirements, quantity limits, age limits or prior authorization (PA)

Some medicines need PA or permission in advance. Your provider will follow a process for coverage approval. Just ask them to complete PA. They can also call ${MS_phone_1} or ${MS_phone_2} (TTY 711).

Our formulary can change any time, so you’ll want to check for updates. And ask your doctor to prescribe medicines from this list. For monthly changes, you can review the formulary updates later on this page. 
 

Ask your provider to:

  • Prescribe a similar one that’s on the formulary
  • Get PA for coverage if you can’t take another medicine

  • The preferred glucose meter and test strips are Lifescan OneTouch® products. 
  • The preferred lancets and lancing devices are Lifescan OneTouch Delica® and Delica® Plus. 

Non-preferred diabetes supplies need PA.
 

Still not sure if we cover your medicine? Just call ${MS_phone_1} or ${MS_phone_2} (TTY 711). When you call, have a list of your prescription medicines ready. We can check them for you.

We also cover some over-the-counter (OTC) products (PDF)  at no cost when you: 

  • Meet any added requirements (for some medicines) 
  • Get a prescription from your provider 
  • Fill your OTC prescription at a network pharmacy (Walgreens isn’t in our network)

Still not sure if we cover your medicine? Just call ${MS_phone_1} or ${MS_phone_2} (TTY 711). When you call, have a list of your OTC medicines ready. We can check them for you. 

CVS Specialty® fills your specialty medicine. They also have other special services for you:

  • Access to a pharmacist 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • Counseling about your drug and disease
  • Coordination of care with you and your doctor
  • Delivery of specialty medicine to your home or doctor’s office at no cost 
  • Use of any CVS Pharmacy® (including those inside Target stores) for prescription drop-off and medicine pickup

Get medicine and refills

Get medicine and refills

If you need medicine, your provider will write you a prescription for one on our formulary. You’ll want to:

  • Ask your provider to make sure the medicine is on our formulary
  • Take your prescription to a network pharmacy (Walgreens isn’t in our network) 
  • Show your plan member ID card at the pharmacy 
     

Your doctor can also send prescriptions to pharmacies electronically. This can help save you time and an extra trip. Ask your doctor if this is an option.

Your medicine label notes how many refills you have. Call your pharmacy to order a refill well before you run out of medicine. If you’re out of refills, check with your provider at least 5 days before you run out of medicine. They may want to see you before adding refills. And you can only get one refill at a time.

Fill your prescriptions at a network pharmacy (Walgreens isn’t in our network). In some cases, AHCCCS members have copays for prescriptions. For example, ACC-RBHA members pay $2.30 for generics and $2.30 for brands.

Do you have other insurance? We can only pay copays if your medicine is on our formulary. If you pay for a copay and it wasn’t required, we won’t be able to pay you back. 

Fill your prescriptions

 

In person

You can fill your prescriptions at any network pharmacy (Walgreens isn’t in our network). We can’t cover medicines that you fill at other pharmacies. Need help finding a network pharmacy? Call ${MS_phone_1} or ${MS_phone_2} (TTY 711). Or search online:

Understand your medicine

Understand your medicine

Providers may prescribe medicine to help you manage a health condition. Understand what your medicine is for and how to take it. 
 

Before you leave the office, get answers to these questions:

  • Why am I taking this medicine?
  • How does it help me?
  • How and when do I take the medicine? 
  • For how many days?
  • What are the possible side effects or allergic reactions?
  • What should I do if a side effect happens?
  • What will happen if I don’t take this medicine? 

Tell all your providers, including your dentist, about everything you take: 

  • Prescription medicine
  • Over-the counter medicine
  • Vitamins
  • Supplements

Some medicines can cause harm when you take them together. When providers know what you’re taking, they can help prevent this problem.

Read the info from the pharmacy when you fill your prescription. It will explain what to do and not do, as well as side effects to watch for.

Questions about medicine? Talk with the pharmacist or your provider. You can also review our patient checklist (PDF) with your provider.
