Medical evidence shows that some over-the-counter (OTC) drugs work just as well as their costly brand-name counterparts. The Trust believes it just makes financial sense to cover them. As a result, you can expect us to reimburse these 9 popular OTC drugs:
For allergies:
- Cetirizine (generic Zyrtec)
- Loratadine (generic Claritin)
For itchy eyes:
For heartburn or upset stomach:
- Lansoprazole OTC
- Omeprazole OTC 20mg capsules
- Prevacid 24HR
- Prilosec OTC
Talk with your health care provider about whether these drugs are appropriate for you. As Tier 1 drugs, these drugs require only modest copayments. In fact, you can receive a 90-day supply of these drugs for only one copayment at retail pharmacies.
How to obtain OTCs through your plan
- Obtain a doctor's prescription.
- Take your prescription to your local pharmacy and let them know that the drug is covered by your health plan.
- The pharmacist will submit the claim to our prescription drug administrator, collect the appropriate copayment from you, and will dispense the medication.
