Prescription drug

When you elect medical coverage through Schneider Electric, you also get prescription drug benefits through Express Scripts.
If you live in Puerto Rico, your medical and prescription drug coverage is administered by Triple S (Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Puerto Rico). You will receive a separate insert regarding coverage details and cost.

Is your pharmacy in the network?

To find an in-network pharmacy near you, sign in at Express-Scripts.com > Locate a Pharmacy. If you are a first-time visitor to Express-Scripts.com, first register, using your member ID number.

Brand-name drug cost when generic is available.

If you or your doctor requests a brand-name medication and indicates “dispense as written” when a generic equivalent is available, you will pay the generic copay plus the cost difference between the brand and the generic. You or your doctor may request a coverage review to waive the cost difference between the brand and generic medication by contacting Express Scripts.

Filling your long-term/maintenance medications.

You can fill your first two prescriptions for a maintenance medication at a retail pharmacy for up to a 30-day supply. All additional long-term prescriptions (90-day supply) for maintenance medications must be filled through either a Walgreens or CVS pharmacy or the Express Scripts home delivery pharmacy to be covered by the plan. Learn more at  Express-Scripts.com.

Certain specialty drugs at no cost under the Core PPO.

Under the Core PPO, certain specialty drugs may be at no cost through SaveonSP, who helps coordinate manufacturer-sponsored assistance. Learn more at Express-Scripts.com.
