Brand name drug with generic available

If you or your healthcare provider insist on a brand name drug when a generic equivalent is available, you must pay the generic copay plus the difference in cost between the brand and generic drug.

Example:

If the generic copay is $10, the brand name drug is $80 and the generic is $50, you will pay $40. $10 copay plus $30 difference in cost.

Other Information

Diabetic Supplies

You can get a free glucometer once every 12 months through Hospitality Rx. The manufacturers provide one free glucometer every 36 months. Please note, manufacturer program details like glucometer mode, order code, and other details may change from time to time.

For OneTouch (by LifeScan), take your glucometer prescription to a network pharmacy and:

  • Give them the below information:
    • BIN: 601341
    • RxPCN: OHS
    • Group ID#: OH6504161
    • ID#: NOCHARGEMETR
  • Or show this flyer.

Contact FreeStyle (by Abbott):

  • Visit www.ChooseFreeStyle.com or call (800) 680-6850
  • Use order code: RAFITLWP
  • Your meter will be sent to the address you provide during the ordering process.

If you need a glucometer sooner than the manufacturer allows:

  • Call Hospitality Rx at (844) 484-4726 to get prior authorization for a new glucometer (the 12-month limit still applies).
  • You'll need a prescription for the glucometer then go to your in-network pharmacy to get your free glucometer.

Programs

These are programs your doctor MUST use:

  • Prior Authorization. Your doctor must request approval for all Specialty and Biosimilar drugs and some Preferred and Non-Preferred drugs before the prescription is picked up.
  • Step Therapy. Before using some drugs that are very expensive, you and your doctor must try less expensive drugs that are proven to work just as well—sometimes they even have the same ingredients.
  • Quantity Limit Program. This is sometimes called “dispensing limits.”There are certain prescription drugs that many providers prescribe at higher dosages than the FDA considers to be safe.

If you need to take a drug that requires prior authorization, step therapy or have Quantity limit, your doctor must call (844) 813-3860 to obtain the approval.

Specialty Drug

You must use the specialty pharmacy for all specialty prescription drugs, which treat chronic or complex conditions like multiple sclerosis (MS) or Hepatitis C. These medications often require special handling, administration, or monitoring. The specialty pharmacy provides expert support, ensures timely refills, and answers questions about your treatment.

If you need a specialty drug, have your doctor send a prescription to the specialty pharmacy below and obtain a prior authorization by calling 844-813-3860.
